Please share your snow/ Ice Photos with us in CR.

First shot: mist rises off the relatively warm water of the Eel River near Adamsboro, IN on a cold morning after a cold front came through with much colder air. The river froze over within a few days of this shot.

Second shot: Sun dogs on frigid morning in northern Indiana (-10F/-23C). I wished for a nice foreground element and surrounding scenery, but the roads were blocked with large snow drifts so I couldn't go too far from our house to capture this rare sun dog. I've lived here 25 years and this is only the second one I have seen here.

Thanks, this is a great topic!

Now I had a convenient excuse to rummage through seven years of winter photos, here's four from Novembers spanning over several years.

I do find winter photography with snow rather tricky. It's almost always a learning experience.

Mist rises off the Wabash River in Logansport, IN. This is a sunrise shot with temperatures right around zero F (-17C). If you look closely, you can see geese in front of the island swimming in the relatively warm water of the river. One of the few advantages of a very cold and snowy winter here (coldest and most snow in 20+ years) are maybe the best opportunities for winter photography in many years.

And here's for Decembers

About the last one, I wasn't particularly looking it from an artistic point of view. It's more of a documentation of reality of this Christmas here. In case you were wondering, yes, that is indeed a road. Unfortunately, overcast sky didn't allow me to try more refined artistic look.

Snow and darkness gives rather vivid colors.

And then January (-25C mostly)

It's difficult to portray snow in so few photos, and given the limited time we have sunlight in January-February, it is hard to find good photography days. On the other hand when the light gets good, it remains so for the whole day. Think about staying in the golden moment for several hours and you get the idea...

I'll continue this tomorrow

Nice walk in the woods today, stopped by the open area to wait for the sunset light... and if you look at the tree to the right of the barn, you can see a Snowy Owl...

First 3 shots with a 60D and Tamron 150-600, last shot with an Olympus TG830 p/s in panorama mode

A lighted tree in our yard in Maine. The sodium lights really make it very yellow and difficult to get a good white balance.

Norway, Svinøy Light

135 L

The island has the Norwegian record for sustained winds, at 46 meters per second (100 mph); with gusts considerably higher. Waves are known to wash over the entire island.

So difficult are landing conditions that the island has no piers. There are three landing sites on different sides of the island, and on one, a crane pulls boats out of the water. A boathouse built in 1905 lasted only one year before it was claimed by the sea and rebuilt in concrete well above sea level the year after. Source Wikipedia

As we Norwegians say; There´s no such thing as bad weather ... only bad clothes!

And for the record; Check the medal statistics for the winter olympics (this year and accumulated) ))))))
