There is a really frosty day today! Air is humid and the temperature dropped up to -3 or -4 degrees Celsius. Despite the weather conditions, I went for a walk and I take some photos. These photos are taken at F/4 or F/5.6; the saturation was slightly decreased. Try to guess which lens I used Smile

Very nice and very "wintery". I really like the atmosphere.
I hope I will get the chance to shoot some more winter pics from here tomorrow.

Hi Hubert, very nice shots, love specially the first and the last ones.
Wonderful colours, looks like a russian lens, maybe an Helios?
Best regards,
Jes.

These are really nice Hubert. In #3 it looks like there are some animal nests in that one tree. Am I mistaken? It is strange they are all so close together in one tree.

They look like nests, but they're not, they're epiphytes who grow preferably on the Black Poplar (Populus nigra).
They're very common in Central and Northern Europe.

Thanks for comments, very nice to read it! Orio - I added some photos for the calendar 2009 contest Smile Next photo from today's walk:

Jesito - it isn't Helios. The answer is here Wink BTW Now I'm drinking the hot beer with honey - it's the best in this weather!

I saw them, thanks!
Also great one today.

Today there was the largest Christmas Market and tonight an evening of CHristmas Choir in one of the churches of Busseto (home of Giuseppe Verdi).
But I could not go because of this stupid flu! Evil or Very Mad Evil or Very Mad

F16SUNSHINE - it's the mistletoe, very popular epiphyt (or rather parasite) in Central Europe. Mistletoes grown on the poplars and also on other trees (but lot rarer). Orio - I hope that you'll recover quickly!

We have a plague of mistletoe on the trees here in the Pacific North West - it typically grows on the local oaks. Those are truly evocative shots Maxim and that is a formidable entry.

Patrickh, Richard - nice to read your comments! I've seen mistletoe growing on poplars, on apple trees, on locusts not to say on pines but I've never seen mistletoe growing on the oak! Mistletoes can be an interesting motive in a photography, I'll take some shots in better weather conditions Smile

ADDED 24.12.2007:

Today is a little warmer than few days ago, now it's raining. Before the hoar frost melted, I had took some photos:

E-300 + Trioplan 2.8/100, F/4, ISO 400, 1/200


E-300 + Trioplan 2.8/100, F/4, ISO 400, 1/125

Thanks, everybody!
My family for many years is planting the grapevine for personal use. We collected the majority of grapes in order to make the wine (my uncle makes fine wine!). We left the part for birds so that they had eating for the winter. Frozen grapes can be an interesting motive in the photography Smile Unfortunately, present weather is bad, it's so gloomy!

Bill - as you can see, Trioplan can be good lens for everyday use! Of course it isn't the best 100mm lens, but I love it Smile
