Bubbles Under Ice, Ellanor C. Lawrence Park, Virginia

Here’s another one from my trip to Ellanor C. Lawrence Park a few weeks ago. I converted this image to black and white, and gave it a slight blue tint. I really like the irregularly shaped large bubbles contrasted against the dark background and smaller bubbles within that background.

Frozen Zen Ice Closeup, Northern Virginia

I’m currently at home with a little cold, but two mornings ago I made the most of the cold temperatures and visited a small stream in Ellanor C. Lawrence Park, Virginia to hopefully photograph some ice. Sure enough, there were some interesting ice formations in the stream, and I spent several hours in a small area photographing them. Here, I zoomed in quite close on a portion of ice with a curvy line in it. The pattern reminded me of a yin-yang type of thing!

Winter Camper Unzipping a Pyramid Tarp after a Fresh Snowfall, Dolly Sods Wilderness Area, West Virginia

Here’s another one from my trip up Red Creek. Same deal as the previous post - completely staged! I want to try and get more photos of people enjoying nature for my collection, so hopefully this will be the first of many.

Winter Camper Enjoying a Fresh Snowfall, Dolly Sods Wilderness Area, West Virginia

Photography has been a bit slow lately, though I did just return from my first real winter backpacking trip. A friend and I headed out to the Dolly Sods Wilderness for some cold weather camping. We got plenty of cold weather, with the first night being 5 degrees, and plenty of snow as well, with about 3/4 of a foot falling during the course of our trip. With my warm jacket and sleeping bag, I was never once cold during the whole trip. Instead, the experience was just absolutely awesome, and I look forward to getting out in the deep winter even more in the future. One morning, when my friend was still sleeping, I headed out into the snow to get some self portraits of myself. Here, I composed the photo and then ran into the frame as my self timer counted down.
