cyclone77 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Fluff topped winter landscape this morning glistened like a million diamonds. No matter how hard I try, this is the type of stuff that a pic can never do justice. This winter may have lacked much excitement thus far, but it certainly hasnt lacked photographic opportunities. 100% agree with the bolded. Very nice! I think you captured it very nicely. Pretty cool how you can see the flakes individually in some of the pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I really missed a great opportunity this morning. I should have got my lazy ass out the door early and shot some pics before heading to work. Unfortunately I only managed this crappy cell phone shot on the drive in. All the trees were caked in hoar frost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share Posted January 15, 2015 not bad for a phone pic. the shimmers continue at night. shot this at a restaurant using the flash on my phone and voila, looks like outer space if not for the footprints lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 ^Looks like some very fresh powder. Black and white from today of an old barn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted January 16, 2015 Author Share Posted January 16, 2015 I love a good black and white photo every now and then. Great job. Calm winter day, not too cold, perfect for a walk in the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 light snow continues in an east upslope flow off Superior. Took a couple pics around my yard today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonger Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Awesome Bo.... We just hammered out plans, heading up in 10 days. I'm looking at going from St. Ignace to Copper Harbor.... Unless snow is paltry south of M28. If that is the case, we will unload in Newberry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've found in past situations like that, a persistent N flow is likely off Superior that delivers decent snow to the N half of the UP. One thing I've noticed tho, with the lack of snow in the Lower P, more traffic on the trails up here. All the trails I've seen are in pretty good shape and of course the back country is deep all across the shoreline counties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Ignace can occationally get LES off Lake Michigan with a SE flow, it happened in November and I think they got 15+ inches, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Was screwing around with a photo editing program tonight and messed with that twisted tree pic from this past November. Enhanced the colors quite a bit. Gave it sort of a fake look, which I normally don't like, but in this case it seems kind of cool for some reason. Could make for a good halloween pic or something lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Attempt at getting comet Lovejoy tonight. This is at only 32mm. To get a real good quality image of this you'd need a 300mm+ quality lens. An incredible image of this was posted by Gene Moore earlier today on facebook, and he was at 777mm.

michsnowfreak Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 Looking good Josh! I like the 5th one best but it almost doesn't look like night.thats my favorite too. Although in person the most surreal sight was the ice flows on the river & fresh who snow contrasting with the dark night sky.Im trying to get better at night photography. Im no cyclone, lol, but keeping the camera still as possible (tripod or any surface) can really.give some interesting nighttime pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 The ground is bare and muddy now, so no new pics. However, here's a pic from the night of Jan 7th, the same night I took some of those drift pics earlier in this thread. This isn't anything special, just a snowy hillside, with the stars above. Just felt like posting something with snow again though since it seems like it's been awhile lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Some more pics from today. And here's the sunset from tonight. Normally I hate having power poles and lines in a pic, but that's where most of the snow drifted around in the area I was at, so I was okay with it.
