giant clumped snowflakes on my windshield...

sitting outside my garage....ready to leave.....the snow was coming down in huge clumps. I wanted to snap some snowflakes hitting my windshield...hoping I could capture some of the flakes before they melted. Here is one...you see some of the flakes....some of them icy before they are melted....and some just droplets of water....after they melted...

Melinda said...: well these are not that great. I like those books of photographs of snowflakes....by Wilson Bentley...you want to see some amazing photos of snowflakes...check his books out. Usually the library carries copies.; February 19, 2008 at 7:15 AM

WHY the name PHOTOGRAPHY FOR DUMMIES?

Because I don't know much about the digital cameras I have used over the years....and yet I am able to take photographs. I have never made it through my entire instruction manual for any of my cameras. I started out with a little cheap 1MP camera.....and progressed from there. I still only have a 5MP Lumix.

Can I explain much about the settings I use or how I captured the shots I have? No, not really. Does that negate the value of the photo? No, not really. They are what they are and can more than stand alone based on their own value.

I want this blog to inspire and encourage even those who think they are clueless or a "dummy" when it comes to taking pictures to just get out there and DO IT! After all if I can get these shots....I am pretty sure you could too!
