I've been snowed in since Tuesday night so by last night I was bored and decided to play with the camera

This is the lampost outside my house





Then today I noticed these





I don't recall seeing anything like this before though My wife noticed it earlier. Shame I forgot to measure how long it is



Anyone else got any cool photos from the cold weather?

alangti

Paulo P

Don't be stoopid Benni, I'd send them in a fucking cool box with those funky blue blocks to keep them cool

Is your attic loft insulated if so WHY does your roof melt the snow

combo boiler outlet

Paulo P

It's insulated as far as I can tell and it's bloody cold up there. No idea, when the weather gets warmer I need to investigate it further because it's bloody cold here. Having a garage underneath the house doesn't help with it getting cold in here.

Took this when in my brothers car yesterday

Paulo P

Very nice Was that rested on the mirror and can you remember roughly what settings you were using? I love shots like that, a friend of mine took one like it (without the snow) on the isle of man a few years ago.

Easy as pie, just walk outside and take a picture of your roof and next-doors roof

If they have snow,and you dont YOUR paying to melt it

Cool picture

kiddie

Quality pic that mate!

Paulo P

I can't see my roof that easily especially from that side but I will be taking a look tomorrow. I think you might be onto something because it's a 3 story town house and the top floor is always the warmest but it doesn't get hot in the winter. I've always blamed the garage under the house but I'll check it out tomorrow.

Thanks

Paulo P

Radders,

After the roof collapse thread is that a Mazda 6?

heres one i took out the window of the car a couple of days ago

cheers james

Paulo P

I couldn't wait so I've just been outside and our house has more snow on the front roof than our neighbours and the rear roof is still covered. The rear doesn't really get too much sun though so I think it's the amount of snow we have had

I am quite pleased the snow up there hasn't melted, I was worried there because of how cold it gets. I guess it's still the garage

Old photo from this time last year

Paulo P

Nice attention to detail there James

Take a picture of both roofs with the snow

Then check for icicles

As there is something wrong somewhere

The sun wont melt it that bad IMHO via the temps in the last week "dont you agree"

Paulo P

Will do tomorrow but our roof still looks like it has more snow Maybe next door are growing more weed

Update coming later

Paulo P

Thanks for your confidence mate

Benni

You're welcome, Sir.

Paulo P

We had a VERTICAL icicle in our bird-bath last year, pointing UP, about 3-4" long. Must find the pic, still don't really know how it happened.

Paulo P

Luckily they are at the back of my house and I can't be arsed to go into the garden

i took some pictures yesterday while walking the dog.

SassyRS

Ive got some HUGE icicles outside my front door...

StephenC

apparantly its to do with the water at the edge freezing, thus expanding, pushing the remaining water up slowly. the more that freezes the more that gets pushed up (surface tension and all that shite) and it makes a spike in the middle once the whole things frozen. boring eh

Cool pics. But I thought this was going to be photos of your wife's/girlfriend's baps! The disappointment I felt seeing snow pics!

Forgot I posted in here lol, settings were ISO800, f/6.3, 1/15 shutter speed, handheld and 10mm.

I had the white balance set to flash for some reason, which gives the blueness. Nothing has been touched in photoshop, its straight from the camera.

It's an Alfa too, think a 147?
