Frosted Berries
Newton Street, South Hadley
Photograph and text by Anne E. Ely, South Hadley,
Looking out the window one morning before snow had fallen, I noticed that a significant frost had turned everything white. I was determined to at least try for some images of frosted leaves, or whatever. There were some pretty leaves in the front yard, still with a bit of color and frosty edges. But by the time I set up my tripod and attached the camera, the sun had changed everything. I went quickly to the back yard, still in shade, and found a frosted climbing nightshade vine woven in among the leaves of a lilac bush. The red berries still attached added a vibrant touch to the scene which was captured with a tripod mounted DSLR camera and a medium length telephoto lens used as a closeup lens.
