snow ownage

[ryan s]

once the power came back on a little after 10am (went out at 3), it was time to get the day going.

i think we ended up with around 14" just estimating.

lots of tree branches got broken from all the weight. the issue was that the initial snow was really light and fluffy and sort of melted...creating a glue, basically, for the rest of the snow to stick to.

between shoveling 20" of plowed snow (100% heavy...about 40lbs per shovel full) i took a walk in my yard.

i am fully aware of how much these pics suck. i was in Av and AF mode, trying to keep the lens dry. if you've never shot in snow...it's impossible. between exposure and white balance...its the most difficult environment IMO.

this tree lost about 1/3 of its branches...just snapped like nothin

the light pole is about 6 feet, 8 inches tall. the real problem is the amount and weight of snow on the roof...

Holy balls, and I thought the 4-7" we got yesterday was horrible. I bet that Accord isn't going ANYWHERE!

snow is no fun to shoot in full manual ftw though, AF is still a pain in the ***

lol even after i dug it out, i could only go in reverse. rolled it back a foot then went forward where it was clear.

i left a foot-tall section of snow on the roof...looks like a Mr. T mohawk

i literally shoveled off the car...took the shovel to the car also broke a shovel

cant count how many times i had to point the camera at a branch or something dark for it to focus

used Av for most...take the pic, way underexposed...push in Bridge, Recovery around 90-100...ftl exposure compensation at -1 still wasn't enough. it was closer to correct, though.
