June Snowfall Grand Teton NP

Surprisingly dense snow-storm down on the valley floor at Grand Teton

in June (at least I was surprised).

 

All comments welcome. Thanks.

As in some of your other works from the trip, the sense of space is obvious and well utilized. I like the way the depth of field makes the background almost feel like an echo, especially since the trees are so similar in shape. The snowflakes read beautifully, which I imagine were not that easy to capture. Has a nice moody feel to it.

Thanks Fred. I'm so sorry I left this for almost a week. Been very busy making some major decisions on things.

 

As soon I get a chance I am going to go on a major, major edit of my portfolio. Part of which will be separating out the various images that share a similar aesthetic to this and placing them in a unified folder.

 

P.S. The snow was actually quite easy to capture -- due to the very patchy and broken cloud cover, it was actually very bright during the snowfall. That allowed a fast shutter without compromising on DOF and I managed to get what I wanted in only a couple of frames.

Ian;

 

I like the uniform grayness of the sky and the bottom heavy composition it feels grounded and solid which contrasts nicely with the gauzy, head in the clouds, feel the snow imparts. The trees seem strong and stoic which I believe also relates back to the snow and gray sky.
