It's Nippy Out

[Black Pearl]

Hovering just on the 0ºc mark this morning but with a very strong biting cold wind - still I had to walk Thomas down to school so as I was already wrapped up it seemed rude not to take advantage of the sunshine.

 

Random snaps of stuff I saw...

 

I do love a snow drop - in the snow - in a churchyard...

 

Not a lot of snow about on the coast but enough to make it pretty...

 

Had to be done...

 

Not sure on this but I kind of like it...

Another nice set to view. Number 2 and 4 are standing out to me as my favourites from this bunch. I think there is a nice quality to light light in these.

Excellent "snaps" as always BP

Nice set BP, no1 is my favourite but it needs to be viewed large.

Random shots ?

I really enjoyed them and I so need to get myself out and about more after seeing these!

Good job

Picture 2 is my fav here..I love the light, and those teeny people wandering the beach.

 

And it does look blooming nippy!

Snowdrops in the snow and in a churchyard sound as though it's going to be more than a bit twee. But it isn't, it's lovely. Best of the set for me.

Loving #1

Thanks

 

The light was fantastic - bright but thin and wintery. I love the warmth of summer light, particularly the more you venture south but there is something about a sunny winters day that lends itself to coastal photography.

Super set, not sure what the last one is - seaweed? But for me No.1 with 2 on its heels 

[Phonantiphon]

Nice shots. Lovely feel to them. I actually really like #4, and closely followed, #1...!

[Black Pearl]

Thanks all

 

Shot four is seaweed on a rock, it was catching the light and glowing green but decided a silhouette looked more dramatic as I quite like the moody sky.

I think winter light is amazing - wide pale skies, no foliage to block it out, subtle shades of blues and other colours...

really like the first one with the church in the background.  the shallow dof is perfect, just enough to add the church as interest without being really distracting to the flowers.

Thanks

The DoF is one thing you can't control with the iPhone so it was pot luck - turned out nicely though.

Single aperture?

[Black Pearl]

I believe the iPhone like most phones lacks a variable mechanical aperture relying instead on sensitivity and exposure time to achieve the correct exposure. In the case of my iPhone 6 it's fixed at f2.2 while the Gakaxy S5 is the same.
