"The first fall of snow is not only an event, it is a magical event. You go to bed in one kind of a world and wake up in another quite different, and if this is not enchantment then where is it to be found?" J.B. Priestley






























2013 began with a beautiful two days of snow (no school :D) on January 9 and 10. Snow on the first day was more like fine shaved ice, falling light and powdery with intermittent hailstorms, sleet showers, strong winds, and thunder. The second day, the storm subsided. I woke up to find everything outside my window blanketed in white. It was thick enough for making a snowman (my first)!

Although it was a beautiful sight, the snow and the storms (which lasted for several days prior to snowfall) blocked traffic and destroyed 500 tents in the Zaatari Syrian refugee camp in northern Jordan. Jordan got a foot of snow. Overall, the Middle East was badly affected by storms as well, causing at least 8 deaths in the region.

  1. 雪景不好拍,主要是很容易過曝,這次PO出來的都沒有過曝,算是很難得的。雪景要拍的是感覺,抓到了感覺就會很美。我感覺得出來你想要抓那種感覺,所以由很多個角度去拍各種不同的景色。
    第3張和15張是拍雪景,這類的景只要別過曝,然後有些構圖就會很美,這二張不錯。接著你拍的都是某樣東西上有雪的畫面,第11、12、14、17、21、22這幾張我喜歡。冰柱的幾張也不錯,表現的不錯。但因為光線不足又必須近拍,景深淺是必須注意的,一整枝樹枝上有雪如果樹枝從頭到尾都清楚一定很棒,不然只在枝尖不清楚就可惜了。這個部分其實可以用角架,讓速度更慢些好加大景深。還有就是要注意背景,除非能像第17張這樣打糊掉,不然背景就會太雜,失去了被攝體本身的美。
    對了,第1張和第9張是怎麼回事?
