Frozen River
For the third day of the photo project, I ended up with a photo of the partially frozen Severn River, in Sherwood Forest.
To get this shot, I had to climb out onto the jetty in front of the house, in the bitter cold and wind. I’m not fully happy with most of the photos that I took today. I would have certainly taken more, but my fingers were about 30s from freezing and falling off when I did come inside. Well, that’s not completely true, they were already frozen, but hadn’t yet fallen off.
There wasn’t much color in the late afternoon sun, so this ended up being another good candidate for a black & white photo. I do want to make sure that I don’t end up with nothing but B&W photos in the photoset.
I generally enjoy black and white photos, but wish that there were an easier way to work in black & white on my Nikon D90. It would be useful if it had a feature whereby one could see shots in B&W, but still have them be recorded as full RAW format images. Not that that’s a complaint mind, just a nice to have.
Today it’s back to the office and the start of the real challenges with keeping the photo project going.
