    On a cold and frosty morning

    Visited my Mum yesterday and on the journey from Dunmow to Tiptree I was treated to probably the best hoar-frost I've ever seen. However, with few suitable places to stop and not wanting to be late, from a photographic point of view it was a wasted opportunity. I did manage to pull over once, for a few minutes:-

    Oh, how I wished I had a tripod with me, to use a smaller aperture for more DOF with the tele-zoom. As it was, I focused on the tree and let the foreground blur.




    I also snapped this. Won't win an award for either of these but at least I got something from the journey.

        These really made me feel cool John - as we have just had two days of 38 degrees.
        They are both lovely, but No1 especially so.

          Thanks Lyn, it seems we could do with a little more heat and you could do with a little less. Mind you, I would miss the frosty mornings.

              Why do we call it a 'hoar-frost' ?

                Yes that frost is pretty spectacular John. Makes me feel cold just looking at the images. It's all gone here now - just wet and miserable with Christmas shopping to do for non camera enthusiasts and no ideas.

                  John,

                  Just what I was looking at while at work in Derbyshire and like Phill D say all gone. I just kept thinking don't go to work go on Saturday when it's all gone but I couldn't.
                  You like me would have loved to hav had time to play

                  Love the first one

                  Ian
