the woods. Nice day for shooting after 40Cms of snow 2 days ago. Years ago I had some snow shoes. Might be a year to buy a new pair. C&C as always

Nice old shack!

Yeah this snow is out of control... so much so early... it's gonna be a rough winter!

I got some nice snowshoes at MEC last year, only used them 2-3 times last winter but I have a feeling I'll have a chance to use them a lot more this winter!

Better you than me Peter.

A good shot for sure. Nice color and great composure. I like it very much. As for the snow shoes I hope I will never need them here. It's been about 30nyears since we had a really good snow fall even with snows building on other snows.

I miss the snow already

Nice picture Peter. I'd loan you my big shoes if we lived closer.

We'll hopefully get dumped on next week, after I catch up on a little more work.
And with a little luck I'll own an OLD skidoo in 2 weeks or so for those places too far to hike.

Snow is nice, so long as you don't have to shovel it - but then we're lucky around here, for the amount we get.

Anyway, Peter, personally I would have preferred something from a little further out. Did you frame it like this or tightly crop it purposely.

Simple yet effective.

Almost abstract to a degree.

Thanks guys for the comments. I was traveling light as the snow was deep, I had my back to a row of trees and old rose bushes. Should have carried the 12-24 but I'll revisit this area again this winter I'm sure. Lots of old farms and abandoned buildings in the area.

I wish we got more snow here, like we used to get when I was a kid.

I like this shot! Taken and the perfect time of day with a beautiful hint of color in the sky.

Tom Lusk · 12-07-2007, 08:48 PM

There is a certain "feel" about this shot that I really can relate to.

My snowshoes are ready to go. One more decent snowfall and I'm off exploring.

Somewhere out there is a postcard or greeting card company that would love to use that photo. It's beautiful.

Karl Inge S · 12-08-2007, 04:33 AM

Nice picture, got an "old good times" feel to it.

Do you use polaroid filter when shooting in the snow?

I knew there was something else and you pointed it out. Yes the sky colour makes the old structure stand-out even more.

Peter Zack · 12-08-2007, 07:28 AM

Thanks again everyone. In this case Karl i didn't use a polarizer as the light was falling and near the end of the day. But i do use one when the light is more intense to get better skys and cut glare. The snow can be so bright it overpowers everything else.

Excellent image Peter - simple yet effective!

A very nice combination of subject, foreground and background, despite you wanting the 12-24! Great conditions to allow some of the snow details to be seen too.

Regards,
Marc

Great capture Peter - I will trade the cold here (-23 last night) for the snow (not so much here). I am looking forward to some winter scenes here - just gotta catch a break from the weather man.
