Have you ever encountered beauty so magical that you simply cannot stop looking at it?

I have and did my all to capture it on camera. This is not even close to what I saw, but a small impression of how light, ice and nature can surprise us time after time...

Happy Friday!!

When preparing the table in the backyard for dinner I noticed a good light with the sun hanging low. I grabbed my camera, put the 50mm prime lens on, and took this shot at maximum aperture f/1.8 and ISO 100. The bokeh is from the branches of our apple tree. The red in the glass is the reflection from the red sun umbrella hanging overhead. This is a crop of a photo I posted in the past.

I processed a balanced HDR photo from a RAW exposure.
