Green Bay Winter..

When weather gets colder in Green Bay, the snow covers almost everything on the ground, the Fox River pass through the city is almost frozen...I feel lucky to be here in such a wonderful weather. Every morning while going to office I see the scenic landscapes which appeals me to capture it in my camera. But the problem is I cannot stop the car in between to take the pictures...so last weekend I decided to go out to the park (Voyager Park) which is on the Fox River bay. The temperature was down to -14 Deg Cel, the whole park was covered with snow and I was walking in almost 1.5 ft deep snow, believe me it was amazing experience. However it was so cold that i was rushing through the images to get back to my car to be more comfortable. I ended up having couple of good pictures, here they are...

This is little technical but would like to mention here ...
Brilliant white snow confuses the camera meter reading since it wants to make everything mid-toned which leads to under-exposed shots ... and snow looks gray in the final image. I dialed exposure compensation value to+1.5 to +2 which gave me kind of correct exposures..

All photos - f/20, ISO200, Auto shutter, Exp Comp in the range +1.5 to +2, hand held
