A Fire In The Winter Sky

Posted December 14, 2007 By Chris Wanamaker

When I travel around off-assignment, I tend to bring my camera with me anyways as I never know what I will see. This habit proved to be a good thing!

While driving home through Sussex NJ, I saw the wintery sky begin to quickly change colors as the sun started to set. After finishing my last errand, I drove around the area to see if I could find a nice little spot to get a shot or two off. As I drove down one of the back roads, the quick-thinking side of my brain told me to go straight instead of making a right-hand turn. Good thing I finally listened!

As I came over the crest of the hill, this shot nearly fell in my lap!

   I found your blog via Google blog search while searching for winter photography and your post regarding “A Fire In The Winter Sky” looks very interesting to me and it is also very creative. I have a few photography websites of my own and I must say that your blog is really good. Keep up the great work on a really high class resource.

   I really love winter photography and for most of us, even the thought of capturing on camera, a great shot of an idyllic winter scene is heartwarming and at the same time mind-numbingly depressing. We all know through bitter experience that a winter photography shot we thought of as perfect, might as well in fact be tossed in the garbage can. One really helpful trick that I learned for winter photography is to meter for something other than the snow. Think of all the photo opportunities we’re missing just by being unable to come to grips with proper exposure.
