We had a pretty serious "cold snap" here a week ago, or so. I went out to trunk river hoping to find ice skaters on the frozen pond. They were on the far side of the pond from where I could stand. I used a Nikon 300 mm F4 prime lens with a Nikon 1.4x teleconverter on a nikon D500. This combination gives me an easily hand-holdable 630 mm equivalent, which was just about right for the distance between me and the hockey players.
The top picture is an aerial shot of the hockey game done with my drone.
I'm a transplant to New England and I like taking pictures like these because they communicate what it feels like to live here.
