this is what i'm talking about. the others are generally grey and muddled, although idk if it's just me but i would've rotated this pic clockwise just a lil.

Always tricky handling the range of values with snow and shadows (esp in digital) but this is my submission. Looks better larger than 800px...

Septro · 06-30-2009, 07:50 AM

^ those background peaks look fabulous against the graduated sky, the foreground to the left not so much. But still a fantastic pic.

My attempt.

It's called, Life in Black & White. He was singing Life in Technicolor at the time.

Thanks, you're right - really difficult to get that glare off the ice and the surrounding snow right. I miss film...

UdubBadger · 06-30-2009, 02:17 PM

well 20 hr days in any weather sucks but I know all about long days in the sun (been a lifeguard/managing pools for 14 summers now)... they take their toll on you pretty quickly. good luck

^ a little burnt sienna or brown tones going on in there? Photo is great btw - tough to get dogs to stay calm like that for while unless they're really well trained.

BillLee · 07-02-2009, 12:28 AM

wow good stuff

Carrera RSR · 07-02-2009, 04:40 PM

Here's mine. Took a while to get a clean shot of my son's face. Was taken on a overcast Winter's day at dusk last October. Due to low light I kept getting too much blur. However I wanted to show some to get a feel of movement. This shot came out in my opinion just right. Sharp face and the front of the cart/wheels with motion blur. I converted this to B&W earlier this year as it looks far better than in colour.
