As you read from my previous post I’m heading to Iceland next weekend. It’s a great time of year to visit. It’s the end of winter and days are getting longer but it is still cold and should have snow. And, most important is it a time where a lot less tourists visit. I have a small group this year and we will travel around the whole Island shooting all the best locations. I can’t wait. I’ll have a lot to share on my return. Hope you like today’s image.
Sometimes if you don’t see the whole you are wondering what you are looking at. I shot this from the top of the alps above a small village of Chamonix. The Alps are incredible and I’ll be shooting some more this fall in the Dolomites, Italy. WHat you are looking at is a side of a mountain loaded with snow. Some of the snow has broken off and some has suited to make a most amazing pattern and design. This is what I would call a dynamic landscape as it is always changing. I might have the only image of this as avalanches and melting or additional snow could have changed its look.
Every now and then I need a rust fix and this is as good as it gets. I have been re-woring many of my images in my spare time and I just love the way this one looks. It was shot with a Phase One camera so detail and dynamic range are exceptional. It is a shot of a tank like vehicle used in Antarctica to get around in the snow. For some reason Antarctica environment makes the best rust. I just love the geometry and color of this shot.
Sometimes you are shooting a scene or environment that is just made for Black and white. The picture today was just that. Shot on October 2, 2012 in the ice Fields of the Canadian Rockies. The weather was changing every second. Winds, cold, snow. It was so cold my iPhone shut down. Camera kept working though. I shot this image and processed it in Capture One. Capture One has such great features for holding shadow detail and highlight detail. I printed it on the darker side because it matches the true darkness of the time it was shot. Hope you like it.
