Happy Easter! Usually, I think of fresh colorful Spring flowers when I think of Easter. But nope, not this year! We've been getting more fresh snow lately. The never ending Winter... Well, I tried to make the best of it and got out for a little cross-country ski adventure with the Canon camera this morning. It was beautiful out! I got a couple "keeper" shots at Donner Creek. The water from Donner Lake flows out of the lake via this creek, and it ends up in the Truckee River. It's not the most photogenic creek in the area, however, when it has fresh snow, it can look incredible!
I've been wanting to get more photos of Donner Creek, in celebration of a new exhibit that I will be installing soon. I have a few metal prints ordered that will soon be up on the walls of Donner Creek Brewery. More about that to come...
Both of these were shot with the Canon 5DS R and a 16-35mm lens. The camera's ISO was 200, the shutter speed was 1/200 of a second, and the lens apertures were f/10 and f/8. Nothing special with the settings, and no lens filters or tripod. It was the scenery that was special.
Hope you are all having a great day, even if you don't celebrate Easter!

Happy Easter to you too @scottshots, it's still snowing when I thought it had taken a break, great all the same. Great shots too.
Winter does not want to go so I hope you all enjoy every bit of it. Also, the pictures here are Donner creek are really awesome
They are cool pictures!
Happy Easter from this side and you are able to take quality shots I must confess
When the weather is beautiful like this, the fun of the event is doubled and every time all the friends go out for a walk, it feels so much better to see the snow and the things that pass by.
Donner Creek shots for Donner Creek Brewery 👍 thats just smart marketing 🙂
A big happy Easter from here dear friend
The view of this bridge is absolutely stunning. Your pictures capture the breathtaking scenery of the snow and the river water beautifully.
