first day of winter

Description

Shot this weekend with my new Sigma 105mm F2,8 EX DG MAKRO lens at my hometown. It has an absolutely great performance compared to my two other lenses.

There was quite a sudden and strong onset of winter this weekend here in Germany, I had a few problems getting home from Heidelberg to Lemgo due to the heavy snow, but I came back with 5 nice shots.

This one was actually just a byproduct of me trying to capture a drop of water falling from an icicle - I shot about 200 shots to get only a few with fair timing and not one with the exact timing and focus that I aspired to get. Anyhow, while trying to do so I shot a few larger frames, this one being one of it and actually the best shot of those 200+ =)
Postprocessed by applying a b&w gradient map to amplify contrast (blending soft light, channels red and green).

Hope you like it as well. I myself especially like the contrast between the icy subject and the warming background colors.

Comments and Feedback is appreciated!
