On December 31 I went out in the early AM before the sky started to change and tried to capture a few interesting shots of the house. It was below zero with a respectable breeze which was not conducive to having dextrous fingers to fiddle with camera knobs. That combined with the difficulty of focusing and shooting in very low light kept most from turning out but there are a few worth sharing. For reference these were taken when the sky was almost entirely dark – they seem like dawn is well along only due to the long exposure. The only lights in the house were the patio light in the back, the fireplace inside and the Christmas lights strung on the deck.
The ones below are a combination of long exposures, high dynamic range and extreme photoshopping.
