Critique Welcomed Snow Showers crossing the Mogollon Rim

[Chris Dodkin]

Taken late this afternoon amid sporadic snow showers - this is the view from Sedona's skate park!

X-Pro1 and 35mm Lens - f/13 ISO200 - PP in NIK Silver FX

Almost surreal. Very nice, Chris.

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Thanks Brian - just stunning light today, and bloody freezing (again)

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Ansel would be proud of that one. Beautiful blacks

 

[Hamish Gill]

Yeah, that's a beauty Chris! Desurves to be printed big that one I think!

 

[Kev Pugh]

Agreed, stunning and very very Ansel Mr Dodkin...the pp really expresses the mood that comes with snow storms over the mountains, we just get very grey, very heavy dull skies when we have snow, I think we live under a permanent Big Soft Box over here atm, one that gives rise to constant rain.......

Thanks chaps - I was resting my feet on a copy of Ansel's 'Photographs of the Southwest' on the coffee table as I edited the shot - much have percolated through via osmosis

The whole day had wonderful light coming and going - and I'd scouted the location during the skate-shot, and had used my Photographers Ephemeris software to work out the best time in the afternoon for lighting.

I was lucky enough to arrive as this snow shower passed over the rim

fabulous shot

 

[Pete Askew]

Stunning again Chris. Loads of lovely subtle detail and very nice PP.

 

[Beth Carter]

so the skate park doesn't have a fantastic view or anything... b&w is a good choice for this one.
