Rachel Carson NWR<\/p><\/div>\n

From the hot and humid rainforest of Honduras to the cold and frozen mixed temperate forest and marsh of Maine! Quite a contrast. After two days when my exercise was snowblowing the drive, I got out my new snowshoes yesterday for a trip (slog) around the trail at the Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge headquarters. It was 10 degrees when I left home, and only 14 degrees two hours later when I returned. With wind in the forest of Rachel Carson, and especially out on the platforms over the marsh, it was indeed frigid…but I enjoyed being out in the deep woods in the snow (3 feet or more in spots) just as much as I anticipated. Others on snowshoes had gone before me…so I did not even have to break trail. This is the loop in Branch Brook before it joins the Merriland River to become the Little River for its last run to the sea.<\/p>\n

I was experimenting with the Snow mode on the Sony HX400V, and I am pretty much pleased with the results. I could get more texture in the snow by underexposing and using HDR…but the tones and color temperature in the Snow mode shots are excellent. Just as it looks to the naked eye. \ud83d\ude42 Frozen.<\/p>\n
