Winter Is Here Again

It’s that time of year again, winter, where kids play in the snow, pelting each other with snowballs, parents grumble about the cold as they watch their young ones, people slipping and falling on that black sheet of ice that you never see, and of course, Christmas and the New Year. Last year in Kentucky, a terrible ice storm hit covering many parts of the State. There were power outages everywhere and many people had to find new shelter for a short time. This year a small ice storm hit for a day or two. The thing about these ice storms is that even though they cause much damage, beautiful pictures are waiting to be made if you take the time to step outside and carry your camera. When you combine ice, or any other translucent material, with light, awesome things happen. When light hits ice, it scatters like a wildfire throughout it and illuminates the entire solid. Cool Stuff. Here is a shot from the winter wonder land. Enjoy. All photographs are copyrighted to Zach Brake Photography.
