674 - Backlit Blizzard

Gallery: Weekly ChallengePosted March 1, 201580 views5 comments
A nasty winter storm, lit up from the back by the bright sun.

I posted this once before in another challenge but decided it fit this one even better so I re-worked it a bit to deal with a blown out upper left corner where it was a little too close to the sun (a slight crop did the job).

Sony DSC-R1, ISO-200, f16.0, 1/1000

slick shot - great composition and real nice processing

Man, that's some blowing snow! My first thought or reading your descriptions was that you'd mistakenly switched upper corners in your description :wink:, but viewing longer made it clear that you meant what you said. That speaks very well to how successful your correction is. Gary, this looks great and all the flying snow shows off the wind very well.

Gary: Fantastic scene and I like the almost monochromatic nature of this. The light is perfect for this shot. Dynamic image. >=))>
