October Snows

Gallery: Man & NaturePosted October 26, 2012598 views17 comments

First off let me start by saying.... I remembered to post this in the right gallery. :)
This was taken 2 weeks back during our first fall snow. This is an old road about 10 miles from my house. The bush was very quiet and serene this day and this shot reminds me of that being comfortably alone feeling.
Shot with Sony A77 and 16 -80 zeis
Iso 800 24mm 1/640 f5.6 _ I think I added a 15% glow post.

Soft and subtle - the bit of colour is perfect.
Nice POV and just an overall fine image.

Very nice. I can see where you get the comfortably alone feeling. It feels like a perfect place for a nice quiet walk, as long as there was a nice hot coffee or cocoa waiting at home. :wink:

Beautiful winter scene Gary. I like your comp and the remaining touch of fall color. If it were mine, I might be tempted to crop a little bit of the top to almost a 4X5 ratio. Very tranquil mood with that beautiful quiet feel to it.

Gorgeous view, Gary. (I think we were both out that day, shooting the same weather.) The winding road and colorful leaves look even better with the new snow. I can see why you kept so much sky in this comp -- the falling snow that fills the sky is mesmerizing. An outstanding photograph!

That looks pretty cold. Nice colors. The glow is not working for me thoug, I'm sure it looks nicer without it.

A very nice capture of first snow. The road draws the eye in to the photograph. The color mix is lovely. A fine EP. :toast:
