A Long Exposure Sweet Shot Tuesday

Time again for another Sweet Shot Tuesday over at Life With My 3 Boybarians.

 

Santa Claus was really good to me this year.  My wife contacted the jolly old elf and told him exactly what I wanted for Christmas.  Between him, his helpers over at Arlington Camera and most importantly my loving wife, I am now the owner of a Tokina 11-16mm 2.8 wide angle lens and a B+W 110 ~ 10 stop filter!  I must have been really good this year…LOL!

 

So this past week I posted on my camera clubs message board that a case of cabin fever was running rampant through my house, and I needed some serious intervention.  Lo and behold (what does that mean anyway), I was not alone in my suffering!  It seems that several of my fellow ‘togs were suffering from this same dreaded illness.  The only cure…shoot something.  And shoot we did!

 

Nashville had been hit hard with a snow storm of epic proportions this past week.  So hard in fact, that 3 inches of snow, forced out schools to be closed the whole week…YUCK! But we did not let this phase us at all.  So we had a little mud, and a little dampness, and a little cold air at least the sun was shinning!!!  Without any further delay, here’s my entry into this weeks Sweet Shot Tuesday!

The rest of the shots were nice, but this one here is my FAVE-O-RITE!!! 

I love the way the clouds are streaking across the sky. 

The silky smoothness of the water, and most important I love the way the sun was shining!!!
