It is still very cold though most of the snow has disappeared. Things are proving to be tougher than ever for yours truly at the moment but as I always say I am sure I will prevail and better times are just around the corner. Experience has taught me that dark skies never linger!

I have decided to re-instate my blog on Google’s blogger site which now runs in conjunction with this but it is serving more as a proper “photo blog”. The idea is to embed my flickr work as and when new stuff is uploaded and to embellish that with narrative content. I feel that blogger will become a lot more active than these onsite blog pages.

Snow and ice continue to be the dominant weather theme into the first month of 2010. It is all so photogenic and I have such a lot of work to upload and publish here there and everywhere else. More creative work taking full advantage of shallow DOF, manual focus, white balance, and long exposures at night is taking place on an all most daily (nightly) basis now.

I do like these conditions, the light is so much more effective with the added reflectance of snow and fascinating details in ice and snow embellished structures are all around.
