Nice set of photographs. I especially like the 5th one in BW, lovely!

Best wishes, Kris.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Excellent set but number 5 is def the star for me.
Could maybe benefit from a slight tilt to the right .. just a personal preference though.

No.5 is just brilliant Judith! Was up in Derbyshire this morning... very similar scenes, such fun to photograph.

I have a wee confession...photo number five was actually taken on my camera by my son..he was driving me about, for this winter photo shoot, at this location he reached for my camera and 'snapped' the favorite photo in this group of pics...I changed it to B&W in google picasa(which is free!)

Thank you everyone....interesting enough, the trees are not really iced up in the pictures...they have a soft dry snow on them....if you bumped a tree, you would get snow-dumped....here are a few pictures to show you what I mean....

This is what snow is like when it is cold and dry..it is like a powder.

They are cracking photos Judith, everyone a winner. The much favoured No. 5 which your son took, still has your handiwork on it. You converted it to mono and for me its a stunner.

Great shots JudithAnn.

I have been struggling to get in the Christmas spirit since I have been over here due to it being warm/hot over Christmas. But These pics have helped me get in to the yule tide spirit and remember what a cold one is like. So thanks

They also reminde me a little of infra red photos
