My challenge for week 5 was supposed to be something completely different, but the plan must evolve to take advantage of opportunity. Winnipeg and surrounding areas were completely transformed with an incredible display of hoar frost on absolutely everything. Truly a photographer's dream conditions and the best part... it lasted for 3 full days rather than the usual few hours one morning!
Along with the frost, came grey skies and foggy mornings and though I had a meeting with a client at 11:30 one day, I decided that it was just simply too beautiful not to get at least a bit of shooting in beforehand. So I headed over to St. Vital Park for a half hour before my meeting and afterward, spent some time capturing some of the finer details in a little park close to home.
Here's a few of my favorites from that day:
Then a few days later (what turned out to be the last of the amazing frost), I headed out to Bird's Hill Park and what an incredible sight to see! Gone were the dingey grey skies and in their place, the most beautiful blue backdrop for the crisp white of the trees. The texture in the ice crystals was really something else too.
