This local Chapel is so pretty and makes for a good subject almost anytime. We have not exactly been overwhelmed with snow this year but I made the extra effort to capture some scenes while it hung around. The lamp posts came on as soon as the sun set but at that point the ambient light was way too bright yet. So with that being the case all I could do was keep waiting for the light to drop and of course this foreground light kept intensifying by the minute. It got so bad when everything else was perfect that I ended up using my pole with a square piece of foamcore attached to block the horrendous flare this thing was putting on my lens. Pretty much all the light you see on the vegetation and snow was done by me with my flash. When I got here the sun was maybe ten minutes from setting but since I could not decide my angle, I missed that. The thing I did notice was the suns rays were skimming across the snow and plants and although I missed capturing it, I gave my best attempt at recreating what I saw! If it wasn’t for that light skimming across the snow you may never have even noticed there was a path going through the scene.
