Tones on Tuesday #64 2.5.13

Based on the photos that caught my eye from last week, I would say I am wishing for snow and a little envious of the winter weather some are experiencing :o). I am glad I get to experience a little bit of the winter frost and snow through your photos. Thank you for sharing!

Sarah at Hood Photography

Stunning light and I love the detail here! Such a wondering mixture of fall and winter in one photo. Thank you for sharing Sarah!

Pieni Lintu

Another example of gorgeous light! I love the still, soft feeling captured here as that is what a snow covered world feels like to me. Thank you for linking up!

Rebecca at The Crazy Redhead Photographer

Such a different take on a snow scene than the one above, but I love that moody, mysterious feel as well. Thank you for sharing your lovely shot Rebecca!

I headed across the mountains this weekend in hopes of finding sunnier skies to photograph. I found some, but the further east I went the less sun I encountered. The state of Washington amazes me with the way weather can be so different from mile to mile. I left rain on the west side, found sun right over the mountains and then encountered intense fog a little further on. I decided to visit one of my favorite parks from when I went to college in Ellensburg, WA. I was drawn to the many different plants for some macro practice. I am working hard to get the hang of macro, but still struggle with the settings and the focus. They say practice makes perfect and I do enjoy the practice so it is all worth it :o). 

Settings: ISO 1600, 100mm, ss1/640, f/4.5

Settings: ISO 1600, 100mm, ss1/400, f/4.5

Settings: ISO1600, 100mm, ss1/800, f/4.5
