Winter Scenes

Favorite(s)?  Comments?  I know it has been a while since I've posted and I have been keeping up with my daily photos challenge. :)  These are a few of the better pictures.  I hope you all enjoy these pictures (and yes Spring is on it's way!).

  1. I really like peacefulness of the first and third ones, the bokeh affect in number four, and the bird in flight in number five. I love how you captured the bird in motion without it being blurry!

    1. Thank you, Samantha! The first one was my first successful HDR (High Dynamic Ratio) photo where you take 3 identical pictures of a scene with different exposures (one normal one darker and one lighter) and combine them to create a photo that is much more closer to what the eye naturally sees...much more detail. :)

      I used the sports mode to get the Chickadee's wing stopped. I'm slowly learning the manual settings but for now with photos like these I'm using presets (it happens too fast to fiddle with the settings).

    2. I've been working in Manual as well, but I agree that it's easier not having to work with the settings between photos.
      I'll have to read up on HDR, I know a tiny bit about it, but it sounds like a very interesting concept!
