Winter Winds

Sunrise, frozen desert playa. Brutal cold and blowing snow on this day, but it made for some interesting photography.

Blowing snow, sunrise. Thanks for commenting.

Yo diria, algo mas que interesante, es un gran y helado momento.

Saludos.

Excellent contrast to the sky in background....... 7/7

 

I 'd love to see another version of the picture FRAMED.

This is a stunning shot! The wind's traces, the floor pattern together with the vertical composition add a great sense of depth to the image and lead the viewer's eyes to the beautiful pastel sky in the background.

A wonderful shot in such a difficult situation.

Kind regards, Alberto.

Excellent work. Simple composition, beautifully seen and perfectly captured

you certainly caught the motion of the wind marc. looks a very hostile place. your photo's always look so clear and crisp.

It is a beautiful image with great composition and textures. Nicely done. Dan

A most beautiful photo , Excellent colors and cold mood

Fantastic, very original take on the theme of motion, not to mention the technical quality in such obviously hostile conditions.

 

Cheers,Dave.

Mark, What a wonderful shot, perfect colors, composition and use of shutter speed. I have always been a fan of yours, and look forward to seeing your next shot! Greg

too bad for the small size, I'm sure it has some great details.

I saw this one on your site awhile back. You seem to have been working this composition (vertical presentation of a wide, sweeping plain, small element of colorful sky, and strong converging foreground to background lines) for a few years now and in many different ways. It's as close to a "signature" Marc Adamus image as any I've seen. Of the ones I've seen, I think this is by far the strongest, and not just because I know and love the Alvord Desert, too.

Everything comes together just right here, and the long-exposure softness of the converging lines works perfectly for the windblown snow, for the same reasons it never quite worked for me with the ocean images. The softness of the lines and the ghostly glow against the dark playa really gives the effect of a fierce, biting wind. Very effective storytelling, and a gorgeous visual presentation. Another one to the favorites.

Fantastica. Antonio
