Sunshine on snow - that's what I call proper winter weather. It looks lovely ... from over here! I suspect my blood's too thin to enjoy it these days, I've got used to my nice warm Spain.
Lovely photos, and the black border is a good idea, it really sets them off.
Somehow it is that a winter day is colder and generally more awful in city streets than in places like this. I was all happy between trees, but all the way home was... well, typical winter on roads and streets, bleh. But I'm longing for warm days too. *sigh* Such sights is the only for what I forgive winter being winter.
the black border is a good idea, it really sets them off *cough* Yes, it's great in turning average shots into oh-so-artistic-photos, so I use it everywhere. *g*
Those are lovely - your settings have really captured the look of snow, and came at a good time for me. I am busy writing a story where part of the action takes place in snow and all ours melted last week. Yes, I know there are hundreds and thousands of pictures I could look at, but yours, with your comments, were much more 'immediate' for me than most!
That picture of the two cats in the snow is stunning.
Oooh, I'm very proud my photos are useful this way, it's really great to know it. I wish you satisfying outcome! (And it was the lastest of last moments, that day. This week was above the zero all the time, and now everything is slushy and gray.)
I like the photo of cats very much, I was happy when I caught her jumping, so it was all the more sad to find later that the shot was far from perfection. This version is the best possible, any bigger resolution shows the fuzzy focus. They were in a constant movement, so the photo of her sitting is quite a luck in fact. I love her smug smile. And a pink nose, aww!
It's the third book in my fantasy detective series so sooner or later you'll hear all about it... and then you can remember providing inspiration!
I hate the moment when the snow turns to slushy stuff. We might get more, but at the moment we have sunshine and all the ground is soggy and marshy - 'your' cat would find plenty of mud!
I find it very hard to get good high resolution action shots but then my camera is very basic. I don't wish to invest in a better one because my husband is a very keen photographer and often I can simply look at his pictures! I tend to take 'still life' shots - scenery, flowers, architectural details, etc. But I have some pictures of cats - taken when they were asleep!!
A teen dragon, if my memory serves? I must say it's more and more tempting. ;)
I love my camera for - between others - a truly fine steadyshoot software, and I happen to see on photos what I didn't in the moment of taking them, but in general it's all the matter of luck. That's why my basic receipt for success is Take Them A LOT.
But I have some pictures of cats - taken when they were asleep!! Haha, yes! That's the way to go!
These are absolutely beautiful! It's like opening a box of magical Christmas cards :) I love the one of the Church of St Peter and Paul, and the one of the cats leaping through the snow is just stunning. Cats are hard enough to photograph at the best of times!
We're had no snow at all this winter so it's wonderful to see these.
It's like opening a box of magical Christmas cards :) Yay, thanks! :D It's a fabulous place and the day was truly magical too.
Cats are hard enough to photograph at the best of times! True! They are relatively easy to meet, and they are so born for models with that graceful look, and they are curious and love to sniff at any lens they see... what can be more easy than a cute cat photo? Pfff, yeah, you can try... It's easy to take a photo of a cat, but a good photo of a cat is quite another thing.
Lack of snow is bad for photos and good for one's purse, when it comes to buying boots... Still, I'd like winter more if it only was shorter. ;)
