Frosted wilderness


ian cameron

The Ullapool road in Scotland has rarely been more beautiful than on this magnificent chilly winter morning. I stopped at the road side when I saw the hoar frost coated birch trees. However what really grabbed my attention were the clouds like little accent marks around the frosted tree as if it were shouting ""look at me"".

I have the slide sitting on my light box beside me. To the best I am able the colours on the slide matches that on the screen. I used a polariser and Velvia film. Although the shadows render very blue (same as on the original slide) I personally prefer that to diluting the sky colour with a warm up filter

Not unbelievable colors, Marco, just Velvia stepped down a litle. I would have preferred a little more stepping down, at least one more stop, well, and why not, even 2 more stops down, to give more contrast, a bit darker shadow and darker blue sky, for balance, drama and harmony. The whites throughout would then be really highlighted. That would make this extra ordinary. Did u bracket, Ian?? Thank you Ian for bringing such high standards to PN..

This is absolutely INCREDIBLE. Just fantastic lighting and phenominal detail. Lovely color. I enjoy your composition, too. The clouds in the sky really give this image character. Outstanding!!!
