Finally Some Snow

We finally got some snow accumulation in Lexington. We've had several teasers, but nothing of note this year until today. In fact, I went out to shoot and the snow was still coming down quite a bit, and it was really windy. I managed a few shots here and there, but my goal destination, Raven Run, WAS CLOSED! I was really hoping for some snow rock and creek shots and some falls. With the snow and wing getting worse, I decided to do a little scouting for shots tomorrow. Haven't decided where to head quite yet, but I'll be out somewhere. Here's one from this morning. It is actually within easy walking distance from my house, but the creek bank is always really dirty because the creek runs right through Lexington. But a nice blanket of snow hides our not so nice impact on this area.

Dominic glad you got some snow to shoot. Nice capture, love the reflection.

Gale, I'm glad you are around. I have a couple of panos from this morning for you. I know how you like panos. They never quite look their best online, but here goes.

Pano 1

Pano 2

Well done; I like the first pano, with the fence disappearing behind the hump, and the second pano works for me too

Dominic, great job on the snow scene and the panos. I really like the fence pano the tree in the middle makes the shot!

Dominic the fence pano is great!! I love the lines and arc over the hill. Detail is great also.

Sorry to hear about Raven Run being closed...bummer. This is not too shabby, though. Nice reflection and some pristine snow. Glad to see you still got some good shots.
