Photography: Ice Storm & Crab Apples
I used a standard hand-held digital camera and walked up to the crab apple tree. I decided to not use the zoom because I wanted to see up close the uniqueness of the crab apples being sealed by ice. Even the branches seemed to be encased by ice. The day was dark and overcast. I took several pictures but I was unhappy with them. I decided about using the flash on an overcast / cloudy day. Suprisingly, it worked. The crispy red in the crab apples popped out beautifully. I have never considered using flash outdoors until now. I hope to discover more on what a flash can do for photographs.
