Thanks for sharing your pictures with us Gord. Excellent photography, looks like everyone had a fun day out in the snow.
ReplyDeleteWhen you photograph scenes with a lot of snow, you need to overexpose with at least one step, otherwise the snow shows as grey (this is because cameras calculate exposure for scenes considered with average brightness).
ReplyDeleteWow, great shots, I love Ragged falls! Looks like a good time was had by all.
