Serendipity

[Ken Rennie]

Tommorows forecast looks perfect with early morning fog, no wind and the promise of an excellent sunrise so I drove down to the Lakes to find a location for a sunrise. Whilst there it started to snow quite heavily and the tourist boat came past, the only difficulty keeping the snow off the front element and keeping my fingers working in the cold. Ken

That is sure cool Ken! Sometimes the right time to be in a location is just when we happen to be there. Good work on these.

Neat effect - I like the patchy light in the second image with the big flakes still visible.

 

[Ben Egbert]

This sure looks cold to me.

Sweet shots, goodonya for getting out in the storm. How did you keep the snow off the lens? The last one looks like there was a bit of wind too.

 

[Ken Rennie]

It was fairly cold but I was dressed for it. The wind was at my back and I have adeep hood on my 70-200mm lens so snow on the lens wasn't a real proble. Facing the other way was a different matter. This trip was just for finding a location for sunrise the next day, the snow and the boat were just a welcome bit of luck. PS the next day's sunrise was a non event. Ken

Beautiful shots, as usual, Ken. I like the 3rd one, the best.

 

[Ken Rennie]

Bill the third was shot at 1/20s and this shows the snow as streaks. The other 2 are 1/160s as I did not want the boat to show movement. Ken

For info this shot was taken facing into the snow and is a color image.
