A frosty walk at Henderson Lake
A very cold night, a nice frost, some remaining snow and of course the thousands of geese that over winter at Henderson Lake in Lethbridge. As much as I do not like winter, pictures like this are worth the cold.
I would not argue with warmer days to shoot but as a photographer you have to shoot when the weather is suitable and the scenery looks amazing.
The cold makes the photo – Henderson Lake & Frost
This time of year the light gives really long shadows, plus without leaves on the trees there is nothing to stop the lower rays from hitting the lake. If the day stays calm the frost will hang around till the sun is up high in the sky or more than likely the wind comes up.
If you like to take pictures of the frost you need to get a day that has a nice heavy frost plus you also need a day that has no wind at least for the first part of the day. Then get out there early in the morning.
It is best to get out before the sun comes up to find your location, once the sun starts to rise the frost can start dropping quickly. Pick an area that has something interesting to include in your pictures. Then enjoy the experience.
Oh, AND DRESS WARM!!! You will thank me later.
