Snow snow snow … it seems it does not want to get warmer. I’ve had enough of the black and white in nature and am searching for color therein.
I must confess I found some color even in snow images. I must say making these images makes me freeze, stand in the cold wind or get wet feet. A few days we had nice weather and nice warm sun. Would like to have some back to get some more color in my immediate surroundings.
The view from Hornberg in Baden-Württemberg is breathtaking. In Winter the foremost mountain Hohenstuifen looks like it had received some icing. Hornberg is a windy place and cold. I waded in 40 cm of snow to get this panorama.
This panorama was stitched using autopanopro. I shot two complete Panos using Nikon D700 and 70-200 VRII. I shot 14 images at 200mm 1/500 f10 at -1.3ev.
Walked on the slopes of Treffelhausen on a gray day. Snow had covered the slopes for some days now. However fog had turned the trees into frosted giants and dwarfs. As my daughter was trying her snowboard I went walking in the minus degrees with a breeze in my face. I braved the cold (I just like the warm weather more) and took my camera along. I think I was rewarded with some nice images! I loved playing with the gray tomes and the whitish backdrop.
Used my trusty 17-35 and then the 70-200 VRII.
Rarely do you see Stuttgart in deep snow. This year it was cold enough to keep all the snow that fell these days. The D700 made it possible to take all images handheld. I used my trusty lens 17-35 f 1:2,8. This lens gives me quite a lot of bang for every shot!
Our days are cold and gray. I braved the cold and went out to catch some lines in the white. Lines yellow, gray, brown, black or any color that would break the white of the snow. I mostly set my D700 to +0,7 to +1,3 to counter the white of the snow and to make the snow apear shallow.
