ICY


fotoperfecto

This picture was taken during the road trip around california last spring (2001). The place is in between lake tahoe and death valley. Coutinous mountains during this driving trip gave an impressive feeling on California's countryside. We parked on one side of the highway. I took out my Nikon fm2 and mounted with a 24-120mm wide angle lens. The composition consists of the icy sign, the "icy" mountains, and the clear blue sky. One thing I like to mention is that it is an extremely bright environoment because of the white clean snow on the mountains. I could not see anything after these series of photographs. ANd I wasn't confident on the exposure so that I bracket these pictures. I used primarily two filters ie. warmup and polarizer. This one is with polarizer filter. I am satified with the result, what do you think? Thanks

Interesting take on a simple object. The strange angle makes for a dynamic composition. Exposure is great.

 

My only problem is the vignetting on the top. I'm guessing you were at the 24mm end of your zoom...and the polarizer was too thick. Maybe getting a slim polarizer would help.

 

All in all, great job :)

I don't think there is any vignetting in this picture. From my understanding of it, vignetting would effect all the corners, and in this case only the upper two (right more than left, as well). I think it is the way the sky looks in bright conditions (it has happened to me several times). If anyone diagrees, please let me know.

 

I like this shot. Makes me feel cold. It would be nice to see on a hot summers day.
