Ice Storm

Shooting this ice storm turned into an exercise in graphics.

The first photo of the series is a real stunner. The second one is a close second. The others are very good, but they are not in the same league as one and two.

+1. That's looking, Chuck.

Agreed, although I might reverse the first and second.

Another vote for 1 and 2 (in either order).
Excellent.

[armand]

as said above, the first two are very nice

Ditto.

We get a similar type of thing with freezing rain coating the trees etc. Like everything has been dipped in glass. It's never as thick as in these photos, but that means that a gentle breeze will have long grasses, twigs & reeds moving & the sound as they do so & clink together, is magical.

Thanks all for having a look and commenting.  The first 2 are my favorites as well.

Bill - This storm was unusual as it was a record 60 hours of freezing rain without wind and thus only a few minor power outages.

I've added a few more that I like as well.  6 is one of our apple trees and in 7 I like the light.

The second of that set of three, really stands out

Yes

Great stuff, Chuck. #2 in the first set is my fave, maybe because it's relatively abstract.

[Eric Myrvaagnes]

Now my favorites are 1,2,5, and 6. I love these.

In college, some 60 years ago, I took a photo of an ice storm that was a little similar to your #2 (but not as good). It was one of my favorites of the time, but the negative disappeared long ago, so I only have vague memories of it.

So thanks for sharing these treats.

The first of the first set and second of the second set are really great shots!

There is certainly an interesting variety of opinions.
Thanks all for the feedback.
