Winter Photography

I am attempting to get out there despite the weather and practice taking shots in winter. In the past I have avoided such situations since I felt I could not deal with all the white surroundings and intense light (aka snow and ice). I have gone out several times now, mostly to the canal and one trip to Winterlude, and have done pretty well. I am definitely getting better and learning how to adjust my camera settings to deal with the non-ideal settings. I have also learned that the bright white overcast days that often occur during the winter days can give some neat effects (eg. solid white backgrounds without any post-production work) that I really like in certain photos (like the one of the stop light [red light, green light] below). I am going to keep practicing as I still need it but I am definitely happy with the progress I have made so far.
