Winter Along Old Askin Road

...Comments?...

Nice winter composition again Jim, you have well caught the folds of earth going to the barn.You have a real collection already!...Pnina

You're spoiling us with all these views Jim, very very nice.

Thank you very much, Pnina. This is very typical of the way the countryside looks in this part of Kentucky, just one hill after another. It is also an area I dearly love to be, as I have many relatives there.....Jim

Grand photo indeed. I relly love your beautiful work.

Many thanks to you too, Ben. I was very lucky to get this sharp of a picture hand held as the light was fading fast and all I had with me was the 75-205 f3.8 zoom. As I recall my exposure was 1/60s @ f5.6 on Tri-X, I guess I was a bit more steady in those days.....Jim

I really do appreciate your comment Bridgette, thanks.....Jim

Jim, a beautiful serene scenery, well exposed, cheers Jana

Thanks Jana, for stopping by and commenting....Jim

beautiful shot, Jim!

Janet, I certainly thank you for your time, and comment.....Jim

Hi Jim, I love the way the road curves up around the barn. Beautiful image, nicely captured. I haven't seen a snowfall like that this winter.

As I always do, Sondra, I certainly appreciate your visit and comments. A little side note: At the time I did this photograph, this barn was my uncle's, and a very special place indeed, to me.....Jim

So simple, and so beautiful!

I like the 'view along the road and through the trees' composition. It draws the viewer into the shot. Snow is always tricky for exposure and I would maybe try (try being the operative word here!) to raise the contrast in the foreground to get more of the tracks leading into the shot.

Janet, thanks for your comment, it means a great deal.....Jim

Hello Colin, You are very right about the exposure. I would have loved to have been shooting with the sun shinning or at least an hour or more earlier as it was getting dark. Also wish that I 'd had the tripod along, been great to us f22 instead of f5.6 that I had to use hand held.....Very much appreciate your visit.....Jim
