Description
Merged 3 shots to get the square format.
No filter
Did some post work for contrast, burning, dodging. The usual! So it is a quite straight forward shot.
Behind the scene:
The photo I posted today was taken at Green River Overlook. I check that tree once in a while (since 92) and the trunk falls apart slowly but surely. Composition with that tree becomes tricky (at least for me).
I left home early that morning to drive up to Canyonlands (Island in the Sky district). It snowed during night time and I had to drive in 8 inches of snow, all the way, making my own tracks. The goal was to get some shots of Mesa Arch at sunrise. Unfortunately some clouds were blocking the horizon and I did not get exactly what I was looking for (I will post the shot tomorrow).
On my way back to the truck I ran into the Park Ranger who told me he had just closed the entrance gate to avoid new tracks before the snow plow gets up here. I ask him if I could stay and he says yes, which means I had the rest of the overlooks for myself that morning. It was interesting to know that I will have fresh snow any where I will decide to get a shot. I finally was not able to take advantage of the situation because the light was not great. But I enjoyed the moment for sure!

Evidemment, l'été quand il fait près de 40°, on n'imagine pas qu'il puisse y avoir de la neige...on oublie l'altitude. J'avoue que je n'avais jamais vu Green River Overlook et "LE tronc" sous la neige, c'est vraiment superbe, du grand art. En plus, il y eu "l'aventure" et le plaisir d'être seul là-bas que tu fais partager...cool ! J'ajoute enfin que le format carré auquel on n'est pas habitué pour cette vue joue aussi dans la réussite de l'image.

I love the feeling of a fresh, cold, crisp winter morning this image conveys. The composition is beautiful too.

MAGNIFIQUE ! Pour moi, ces scenes en hiver sont surréalistes car j'ai connu l'Utah en été :-)
