Slide as if the snow will disappear tomorrow

[Rob MacKillop]

Two young guys making the best of what snow is there. I was on a passing bridge, and couldn't quite frame the shots the way I would have liked. Added some vignette which seemed to speed up the action, and surprisingly bring in a little feeling of miniature world photography...

X100 and Nik Colour for vignette...

How interesting. That first one works really well I think and I like it a lot.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Pete. You are being generous there

 

[Pete Askew]

Not really, I like the slightly voyeuristic feel of it - the sort young Robert Louis Stevenson peering through the distorting panes of glass at 'normal' children playing in the snow.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Ha! Never thought of that. Five minutes walk to his house from here...

Great shots, Rob. That X100 have a tilt shift lens, does it?

Looks like it, doesn't it? Strange effect.
