❄️First Snow of 2021!!❄️

So I'm low key proud of these!! It was the first snow storm of 2021 and I really wanted to try night photography in the snow!

I went to a local business park where my friend has her business so I felt relatively safe and like I wasn't going to be murdered!!

I was super happy to be able to shoot using the available light from the street lamps! I actually did pack my external studio flashes though was super nervous about using them in the snow cuz they aren't weather sealed. Really happy they could stay in the car--one less thing to carry around!!

I stuffed my camera in one of those rain-resistant bags, set up my tripod, and had a blast!! I ended up shooting mostly at 180mm for the more narrow field of view, otherwise you'd see the business park building around me which weren't terribly photogenic nor interesting.

It did mean at times I had to set up the tripod like across the parking lot and had to climb over a snow-mountain from the plows!! Let me tell you, climbing a snow mountain in heels is no bueno!! Sigh, the things I do for the fashion and for the shoot! 😜

Hope you like these pics!!! I'd love to hear what you think!!

Take care of you!!!

It was -16C when I took this. Trees were thick with hoar frost, the sun came out and it didn't snow for the first time in weeks.

If you've been looking at my previous winter shots you'll have noticed this red outfit before! Well, Yvonne does have other clothes - it's just that when we go out, that red combo keeps her very warm (and she knows a bit red never goes a miss in photos.)

Stay warm this weekend.

Enjoy it bigger.
