Snow Twins

I'm a little behind on processing, but here are a few from the morning after the large late April snowstorm in RMNP, one last taste of winter for you! I decided to shoot some film that day, 4x5 and 35mm. My 4x5s came out very overexposed, but I was happy with these from the 35mm roll. The first is from two trees at the overlook of the Mummy Range and Moraine Park off of Hwy. 34. As you can see there was LOTS of snow.

Nikon F100, Sigma 17-35mm, Kodak 100VS, no filters.

A second, slightly cropped vertical version from the same location.

Finally, a bonus shot taken from a pullout on a Hwy. 36 overlook of Longs, Meeker and Beaver Meadows.

Nice job Josh. That's a pretty tight exposure range for E100VS, but they look crisp and clear.

I like 'em a lot! There appears to be a greenish cast in the darker tones, but it could be that I'm hallucinating. BTW, I'm pretty sure those bumps in the snow are because there's a couple of Volkswagen Beetles buried under there!

Great shots!

Excellent series. I do agree with Todd about the greenish cast. I think I like 3 the best.

I didn't want to comment about the green at work because I wasn't sure, but I see it in the mid tones on the snow too, especially in #1.

Nice shots. I really like # 1 and 3.

I like the two horizontal, especially the beaver meadows shot--nice shots!

Well done! I like your composition in these shots. I have tried at shots from that pullout above beaver meadows before, but never liked the results. Your #3 gives me motivation to try again.

Nice shots Josh. I like #2 the best, mostly because it is a nice clean composition with a clear subject.
