[Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe
I had purchased my Canon the day before and was extremely anxious to try it out.

The next day as soon as I saw the rays of the sun, I was out with the camera tucked in my coat, walked a bit along the road and waited till the winds calmed down a bit.

It was really cold but I was so engrossed with the camera I did not even notice it. The lens kept getting wet from the blowing snow so I took a few shots and head back. I had 2 jobs learning the camera and photoshop and am still learning both.

Only processing was sharpening and framing

Hello Dot - and it does look a very cold scene here. Bitterly cold...
Nicely captured, and the soft tones show us the effects of the heavy weather.

I love Canadian winters. I miss them! =) I like the shot. Maybe it would enhance the photo to put the tree a little bit more out of center. Great job!

Hello Dot,

You didn't make it easy for your first try with that camera. But as I could see, you learned a lot since. This is a nice image showing the tought weather we have here, and taking picture in these condition is not an easy task. But you did good in rendering the blizzard condition. TFS.

Hello Dot, I can almost hear the sound of the wind from here! You have captured the mood very well and I like your inclusion of the bare branches in the f/g. TFS
Cheers, Pat.

Hello Dot,

I'm shivering just looking at this!
The bluey-grey tones say it all!

I like how the snow has created a misty layer in the centre. It is good for composition and effect!
The bare twigs, in the f/g, add interest to a grey sky.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Very nice shot Dot !

The light is superb. Must be special to be in a snow blizzard !

regards, willemien

Hi Dot

warm greetings

hi Dot

This shot is worth the trouble to face the cold wind and capture the effect of the blowing wind on the snow scene. The way you placed the tree in the FG has shown the most effective scene of the drifting snow behind in such a blur layer of white tone, especially cutting off the lower levels of the trees at far end. That is the result which you would find most unusual in this kind of condition.

I see a thin trace of light.

Superb work.

tfs, bill

dear Dot,
the light in the blizzard or heavy snow and wind shows us its secret face just like in this your shot.
it is the beautiful gradation or blurring from vanishing white to illusionary silhouette,
that picturesque scene inspires hot charm into our cold heart.
frozen light looks holding most hot feeling in the white world.
thank you,
Akihisa

Hi Dot

A good juxtapositioning, between the sharply foccussed fg branches, & bg elements, blurred by the driving snow. Contrast variations are quite marked, too. Well seen!

one fine composition Dot! the natural softening effect of the snow is eye catching!

Bonjour Dot,
Voilà un excellent sujet pour le thème de la semaine!
Ces deux cèdres collés l'un sur l'autre, comme deux personnages voulant se réchauffer, illustrent bien les rigueurs de ce matin froid.
C'était aussi une excellente occasion d'initier ton Rebel XTi aux aléas de notre hiver! :)
Bravo, cette scène a beaucoup d'atmosphère! Annie

Hi Dot,

Very well anchored evergreen in the blizzard. You have created the mood pretty well in this scene.

Regards,
Jusni

Great shot, i like the DOF

Well done
Cris

Ciao Dot


That is very beautiful!
Beautiful presentation and an excellent one postcard!
The fog to the bottom of the a very mystic atmosphere
of the place and dry branches ornament the light well
frame.
Of very good taste!
Greetings!

Hi Dot. "Buona la prima" as we said in Italian. It' the meaning of "good the first". Excellent sharp and great atmosphere. Very well done.
