Cold and Still

a very still, and very cold morning at Jasper NP's Maligne Lake. because of

the cold, the area of open water had shrunk to just a small opening, limiting

the angles to just a few. of my shots, this is the one that makes me think

fighting the cold was worth it. your thoughts, comments and critiques are

greatly appreciated. thanks!

Definitely a winner! Nice job. Regards.

Spectacular....

 

Great shot! Beautiful symmetry with minimal colour. Good one.

Astounding clarity with details even on the peaks at the background.Very precise exposure.Regards

Andrew: Outstanding work with this photo and in your portfolio. Could you tell me what type of filters you use? I am planing to get a polarizing filter and was interested in type. Thanks Ken

Love your composition just wish there was more going on in the sky. Well done. Dean

thanks to all for the comments!

 

Kenneth - only filter here was a 3-stop graduated neutral density filter. i think ND grads are a landscape photographers best friend. i do use polarizing filters, but in this case i knew i'd be shooting directly into the rising sun where it'd have little impact.

 

Dean - thanks, and i too wish more had been going on with the sky. as much as i wanted to complain about the complete lack of clouds, i realized that, with this kinda scene ahead of me, that i wasn't really in a position to complain.

 

thanks again!!

 

Very sharp! I love the foreground texture in the snow, beautiful light Andrew!

Excelente composición, un saludo.

Excellent composition, a greeting.

nice shot, great use of the FG ..

I can feel the cold, you have a wonderful ability to capture not only the scene but the "feeling" too. Very well done!

Gorgeous shot Andrew!
