best frost EVER! ash keys by jantan

best frost EVER! ash keys

fog and really hard frost all day. Finally got round to fiddling with the white balance on my camera (still not acted on New Year resolution to shoot RAW - why am I so scared? and get lightroom - note to self - must do it soon!)

One of those (rare) days when I had quite a few shots that I was happy with, so, given my new more relaxed rules re fillers for my second year there may be more appearing here soon, especially as Graham and I are arranging and cooking for a 3 course Burns' Night supper for 90 people on Saturday - shopping done, cooking starts tomorrow...

Just off to buy some new tyres for my Landrover - exciting hey?

alternative shot in my main album

@markyl Thanks Mark - I am trying to be more 'subtle', and as a lover of all things bold and colourful it doesn't come easily to me ;0)

@jantan i think its great.. have you got some filters your playing with or was this just white balance? it definitely is away from your normal style, much softer.

Jack Frost has given them a special spiky frosting - you can tell which way the cold breeze was blowing, beautiful observation.

@markyl No Mark, I just had the white balance set to shade. In the shot I did yesterday where I used AWB the snow was very blue. I got rid of it by de-saturating the blues in PSE, which ended up having quite a nice over all effect, but i looked at a couple of threads on here about photographing snow where I learned about the 'shade' white balance setting. So much to learn still!!
