Landscape Breaking up

Breaking up · 05:24 PM

This lake is normally frozen solid enough to drive on this time of year. The weather is a little warm and it breaking up the ice on this lake. The Ice Fisherman are really up-set. Shot in the Okanagan last week. [Central BC] JIM

Another impressive shot--to say the least. I like the colors and the deepness of the line uniting ice and clouds. It seems to point to something higher...

milesy · 01-18-2010, 06:42 PM

not sure if its the uploading that did it.....but do the colours look over the top???

It was so dark but the sky was changing so fast. I will see if I can reduce the contrast slightly. JIM

Here is a slightly toned down version. Almost loosing all color if I go much further. It was really weird lighting. JIM

Jimbo · 01-18-2010, 07:09 PM

To give you a better idea how fast the scene was changing here is a shot less then five minutes from the other one. Between the sun rise and fog.. I was finding it hard to get the correct exposure. I will show you a few with the sun rise later. JIM

These have quite the dramatic look about them Jim.
Each with different hues and tones creating such a sense of texture and depth.
Very interesting landscapes.

The third one's my favorite Jim - very bleak.

This shot is almost surreal - kind of erie, in a way. I like it a lot - perhaps the slightly toned down version a bit more, but I'm not sure.

Another thing about this post - it's an excellent reminder of how light can change dramatically in the course of a minute - great demonstration. Unfortunately, I continually learn this lesson by missing the peaks of sunsets at the marina - this year I WILL succeed.

So true about timing Jer. I find the morning better then the afternoons though thats just because of where I am located. I try to get up a hour before sun rise and set in my area. Same for night shots. Looking forward to seeing some of those marina shots. JIM

Pne trhing that I spotted is the ice goes right around the outside edges leaving a white line on the horizon. JIM

Jimbo ... amazing as always.

It's amazing how lighting can really change a scene as you portrayed above.
It really like these ... they really have impact ... the contrast works well ... even in the original.

I hope you get the chance to get some of these blown up and framed. It'd be a shame if you didn't.

the swede · 01-19-2010, 01:39 PM

Very good Jim! Thats a magificant scene. I think i like the composition mostly on this one. A good call to give the foreground more room, for the deep feeling.

Appreciate your kind words. I do print a fair amount of my images [my wife thinks too much as I always go big] Cheers JIM
