A Cold Sun

Posted by Sugata (Newark, United States) on 18 January 2009 in Landscape & Rural.

However dazzling the winter sunlight may look reflected from the snow, it is unable to raise the temperature above freezing. Photo taken in Branch Brook Park, Newark, NJ, USA.
It was taken on an impulse, really, and I realised later that it portrayed the cold temperature quite well without any false colouring or any modification. One word of caution: sunlight on snow forms the most dazzling of surfaces and metering must be very careful if you do not want to burn away large parts of the image by overexposure.

Thanks a lot to everyone who commented on my photos, or even stopped by for a visit. The comments have been pouring in pretty fast (there are over 1500 already!) and I'm finding it increasingly difficult to reply to each individually. I'd rather spend that time in viewing others' photos and commenting there. But I do read each comment individually, and if you ask me something specific, I'll answer that.

I am new to the photoblogging world. Still, I thought I would enter for the 2009 Photoblog Awards. Please vote for me if you think I deserve a vote and registering isn't too much of a trouble.
