Winter Light Beacon

Andy | Sunday, February 21, 2016 | Best Blogger Tips

The day I took this photo the temperature was -25°C | -13 °F. The sun was shinning and caused the vapour to rise. I don't know how they can stand it but there are ducks in the water and two swans in the background.

  1. That you went out to take photo's with that cold, remarkable. And a nice one too. To have vapor by that temperature is really strange.

  4. What a great shot! But are you crazy? I'm surprised your camera battery lasted long enough to take a picture in that cold!

  5. I think ducks and swans are happy as long as the water isn't frozen. That makes me wonder; no ice at all there?

  6. It is a beautiful lake scene. Don't worry about the ducks, they know how to take care of themselves!

  7. For the ducks the water is much warmer than the air. They are well insulated with duck down and fat. I'm surprised you were out shooting pictures in these temperatures.

  8. As long as they've got a patch of open water, they're fine. Terrific shot!

  11. You are brave. I wimped out going outside and it was 20 degf warmer here. I like the vapor effect, that's very interesting.

  12. This is a very wonderful and classic type of scene. Would look great hanging on a wall.

  15. I agree with the others that this is a wonderful shot...and I also wonder that your camera worked in that cold. Mine freezes up fairly quickly.
