This Christmas was amazing! I had a wonderful time at all the family get-togethers and then to top it all off, it snowed. We saw flurries here and there during the day and then around 5 yesterday afternoon, it began snowing in earnest!
I am so happy that I learned how to take blue hour photos - photos taken when it is ust before the sun rises or just after it sets. I knew how to adjust my shutter speed so that it would stay open for quite a while. I grabbed my tripod and went out for a night stroll in the snow. It was very quiet and peaceful. The wind wasn't blowing last night so it was quite pleasant.
Even though I left the shutter open for up to 15 seconds, my photos were still pretty dark. It was a little past the blue light hour.
Today, some of the snow is gone. It's been incredibly windy - howling, in fact! This morning, I took a stroll and took more photos. The dogs came along this time. We all froze! The wind makes such a difference.
Jack loves to run in wide circles at full speed when he gets excited. Buddy barks at him the whole time.

I used the flash for this photo of my car.

The dogs had a great time.
