So we had a snow day across much of England yesterday! Those in colder climates would laugh I’m sure, but here in the UK we don’t cope well with snow. The country tends to grind to a halt with the first few flakes!
But when it’s on a Sunday there’s none of that “Shall I try and make it to work?” and “How long is a reasonable amount of time to try before I give up?”. You can just get on the cold weather gear and go out and have some FUN!!!! On a personal note I was glad to finally get some use out of the snow boots we all bought at the start of the winter – I knew I would jinx the weather being so organised!!
We spent most of the day outside yesterday, building snowmen, sledging and snowball fights with the neighbours! Mummy also got a little bit of time with her tripod and macro tubes to have a play as well! Having my “big” camera is a good excuse not to be the target of too many snowballs too!
It’s great to practice when we have some snow as it’s so infrequent for us. You really need to be shooting fully manual otherwise you’re going to end up with some very grey, underexposed pictures.
And we finally put to bed two absolutely exhausted children last night who went to sleep without a peep for the first time in a long while! A happy day
Great snow photos, nothing grey and underexposed here!
Love the fact you took some macro photos too, I struggled to find any plants under all that snow. Looks like you had great fun in the snow, I wonder if that will be it for 2012 now?

I see Katie’s front tooth is still hanging on! Love the colour in these photos. x
Looks like fun!! It’s always best to enjoy the snow–especially if you don’t get much!
These are great photos… and yes… you did a wonderful job with exposure. Beautiful white snow
oh, that last shot is awesome!! the kids look like they are having a blast
your exposure is nailed perfectly, imo. enjoy the snow while it lasts!!
Gasp – those macro shots are amazing! The colors and comp, I love them. We haven’t had much snow here yet this winter which is unusual, these snowy shots are making me actually miss the snow (never thought I’d say that!)
Ooooh! You got some great shots of your son, and I love love love the nature macro shots–they are right up my alley!
The snow looks like fun! You perfectly exposed those difficult shots and got some action ones as well! Great snowman, so cute. I love your macro images… the pop of color against the snow is brilliant!
I love the ones of the flowers and berries- so beautiful! Your children are so beautiful!
Hoe fun and beautiful images! I miss snow days!
