Took a day trip this week, during a snowstorm, to Starved Rock State Park, one of the more scenic state parks in Illinois. The park was empty, the trails were blanketed in fresh snow, and the entire place felt like my own private playground. While the weather didn’t offer up sunshine or blue skies, soft diffuse light provided by the clouds offered up some good opportunities for winter still photography…and some high definition video. Enjoy!

Took a day trip to Matthiessen State Park yesterday and it turned out to be one of my best winter trips in recent memory.
While I came away with several beautiful photographs of the park’s signature sandstone features draped in fresh snow, I also managed to capture some footage of one of the waterfalls.
Here’s the resulting video, taken with the Pentax K-7 and DA 35mm f/2.8 Macro Limited. Enjoy!
