It’s Cold! Part the Second

This morning’s post was one filled with me whinging about the frost and the cold. Soon after I decided to go out and take a few pictures. I am so very glad that I did – the frost was everywhere – even on the leaves and branches of the trees around the house. I’ve only seen a few frosts like the one this morning where it reached that high.

Thankfully my trusty D5000 worked like a beauty in the –7*C morning. My fingers didn’t do so well – by the end of it I couldn’t feel them at all. The IR filter got used as well. The photos are below.

Above: IR filter, 30 second exposure. The flares aren’t because of the lens, but the cheap IR filter used. If you’re going to get filter make sure they’re coated, otherwise they’ll flare whenever you put them near the sun.

N.B. Whilst I (and many other Australians) think this weather to be really cold, one of the Lecturers that I saw this morning (who lived in Alberta, Canada) said that this isn’t cold, and more like the weather experience in the Northern Hemisphere in Autumn. Bloody Hell!
