Some Winter photography

Most days when I drive to work I see a very picturesque scene off to one side.  It's a view across the lake to some trees on another bank, with a rippling blanket of fog as the sun heats up the surface of the water.

So this weekend I decided to try and capture it with my camera. Epic fail.


I got there early to be sure to catch it, but I arrived to see total fog.  This was the place I had selected.

I decided to wait until it cleared.  It took 2 hours, so I just walked around a waited.  And took pictures.

This is where the really nice scene should have been. But alas, no nice carpet of mist over the water.  I did see a giant water rat, though.

 Maybe another weekend.

There were lots of budgies around, but I couldn't get one to pose. The little buggers fly away as soon as you approach. I had to take this on maximum zoom.
