p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Snow in Zion's Kolob area


It's snow in the area at least for a couple of days so I grabbed my snow shoes and headed out to see if I could come up with some thing, it was really wet and thick hard to even snow shoe in it kind of kicked my butt ... but I had a good time and that's what it's all about ...

Please comment

Lynn

Hi Lynn,
I really like the second image. The way you composed it and the falling snow does it for me.
Thanks for sharing,
Fred

I agree - the second image is very nice! Great work, and worth the effort.

I took the first one off because it was so big and I can't seem to change the uploading.

Thanks Santo's
The snow flakes were a gift to me I didn't see them when taking the photo they were falling but didn't know that the camera would pick them up.

Wonderful winter scene here, Lynn. Only issue here is that snow is actually white, while the snow here appears light grey. This is a very common result when we use the exposure that the camera's metering is telling us is correct, but it is not. Snow scenes typically need up to +1 EV or a correction on post..

Thanks Jeffrey,
I did have a + EV of 1.3 but it was quite dense under these trees I got a problem with a color cast of the trees they are brownish red so it reflected unto the snow also, I think is happened when I put a slight curves adj in LR, I've tried to up the Exposure and tried to use the Temp and all of these things didn't help, you have any idea's on what more I can do.

I love snowy scene!!

Lynn, I did a quick edit in Preview (mac), recovering shadows and adding brightness. I imagine this is more like the way it actually was.

I agree with Jeffrey's comments. However I think Lynn's approach does bring that quality about the snow flakes (and the magical mood resulting because of them) that disappears completely when bringing the greys to white. I guess it's all about accepting imperfections and interpretations.

Hi Lynn,

You'd never know it was Zion with just trees and snow, but it's a great image no matter where you got it. Really lovely untouched location. I do like the slightly brighter version of Jeffrey but feel like somewhere between the first shot and the second version would be ideal brightness.

Thanks for you time and effort to show me what you did.
It actually was really dark under the trees which I liked about the shot it was not that white there. The word dank looking is more what it was the cloudy day along with the shade that the trees added, I'm sure that it had more white than I showed but I want to go and do it again to see what I saw once more ... but I really appreciate your time and effort ..
And I'm learning a lot by making mistakes I have Photoshop also so
...Show more


Thanks Santos

A beautiful scene, beautifully seen.

The falling snow flakes, like woodland sprites, light as gossamer, really make the scene mesmerizing!

While Jeffrey's lighter edit may be closer to "true," the lost snow flakes now make the scene "lovely" as opposed to "wonderful."

Perhaps a happy medium can be struck...
