January 27 ice storm/snow photos and video
An unexpected ice storm rounded out Tuesday's winter weather episode in Charleston, complete with power flashes, outages and falling tree limbs. South Hills seemed to get the worst of the icing, and was where I spent most of my time after dark. Here are some photos and a video clip from the day, minus my main b-roll tape which suffered a mechanical failure (thus preventing me from feeding this video out).

A power flash lights up South Hills (from video) cutting power to Bridge Road momentarily. Notice the smoke in the center of the picture (over the road), from another tree/power line contact sparking event that I was shooting:

Way to go Dan, excellent compositions. Nice score on the tree leaves, what kind is it that keeps it's foliage?

Thanks guys, I'm not sure what kind of tree that is. There is one in my neighbors yard also, it has white flower blooms in the spring but never loses its leaves. The TV crew was just doing live standups, they quickly retreated into their warm truck in between live shots. You have to stay out there in the cold to get the good shots :)

My guess would be magnolia tree...just a guess though. I LOVE the 'shrub branches close up'. What lens did you use there? I wouldn't mind having a huge pic of that. AWESOME. REALLY nice pics!!!

Thanks Jes, I used the 18-55mm (on the 55mm end). It was getting dark so I had to rush these, there were a lot of nice subjects but not enough daylight to capture them all.
