First Morning Shoot of '23

Once winter strikes, my inclination to get out for an early morning shoot, just about dips to 0. I guess that my photo mojo is on the same scale as the temperature. In fact, except for a couple of brief excursions with Sue, I pretty much haven't  partaken in any dedicated photo shoot at all during the cold season.

With the mercury rising, I determined that Monday morning would be different, but when I saw that it was still below freezing out there, I came close to changing my mind. However, I did bundle up reasonably well and set off. It was still not exactly balmy up there on the trail bridge, but I persevered long enough to get the photos that I most desired.

I wanted this ↓ shot, for it had occurred to me that I had never taken one that included both the little bridge and the old MacArthur Mill. The time was close to being right, for if one is going to do it, I figured that it might be best if there were still some snow. It would also be preferable before the trees were to leaf out and obscure the mill.

Here's another from a slightly different angle.

Whilst there, I decided that I might as well take a shot looking in the other direction: away from the sunrise and toward town hall. I have likely taken this shot before but probably not with my wide angle lens. The subdued colours in that direction were not bad at all.

There you have it – my first early morning outing of the year: in this case, all taken with my wide angle lens. I may return with a different lens, maybe even at the same time of day.
