Taking Pictures of the Snow

Thanks for the guest post by Kristofer Bartlett

Last winter, I just couldn't wait for the snow to arrive. I had recently gotten a digital camera that I really wanted to try out on some good snowy photographs. I waited and waited and it never snowed. But one day, I woke up and there was about thirty inches of snow outside. It was absolutely ridiculous. I couldn't even get outside to take pictures, so I took them from my window. They actually came out pretty decently and I made sure to upload them to my favorite website. Obviously, the photographing part was the easy one. I then had to go out and shovel my way out.

My mother and I went outside and began shoveling the driveway. The snow was extremely heavy and it was very hard to shovel. After a few minutes, my mother and I were absolutely exhausted. My boyfriend was at work at the time and so he couldn't come over to help. My father was on a business trip and we were left in the snow for about two days before we finally made our way out. It might seem scary to be snowed in like that, but it wasn't too bad. We spent the entire time watching our favorite programs on our satellite television from http://www.directstartv.com. Of course, I won't be looking forward to that amount of snow every again. I'll just take pictures of flowers from now on.
