There is something about a snow fence that has always captured my eye and my imagination. I like the color of the worn wood. I like the curves the fence makes…especially as it ages. I like the shows the slats throw. Add some actual snow, on a bright sunny morning, and a snow fence can make the perfect still-life/abstract. Or that is what I think anyway.

I have photographed this particular fence, which is along an access road to a beach and beach houses near our home, often. I used moderate zoom on SX50HS (275mm) to frame just the curve at the end of the fence against its shadows. The texture of the snow, caused my melting and refreezing at the surface, just adds more interest to the shot. f5.6 @ 1/800th @ ISO 80. Snow Mode, with –1/3EV exposure compensation.
