Description

A close-up of the snowbridge of yesterday reveals its fragile construction. How long will it hold before it melts in the sun? Thank you so much for your kind comments like many of you did yesterday (and the days before)! My photography might be simple but it's great to see each of you look in a different way to it. Usually the quality of the slides is sufficient but now and then I have big troubles in scanning them correctly (I know the principles, it's just a tough job correcting color-gamma's, etc.). The color-depth of slides exceeds the gamut of a computer-screen but I try to get the best. I discovered my Canoscan 9900F has difficulty with high contrasts, projecting some ghost-images like you could see best in Justistal 5 (left icicle). Some of them can be cloned or brushed away, but many of them cannot. I'll have to live with it. Enjoy your weekend! Minolta X-700 (Fuji Sensia 100, 300 mm) Thanks for your attention and your always valuable comments

This study of lively crystaline and more faded in the background gives earnest purpose to the search for quality. Panelling and pixellation still haunt the process even now with 16 million colors compared to eight in 1994 when the image resolution and size aare constrained. Have you tried a bigger image up to the 3000x3000 and 510kb limits? You just let the scan dpi expand into a 72dpi much bigger image. It slows things down but gets what you want. Renderosity has so far not complained about my few large images clogging up the server. Assume a more generous landlord at least when the image would be severely degraded and not worth posting, otherwise.

I really like the photo. But the middle section (the ice) shines too much and that`s why the background a nd the foreground are too dark. But really nice focused... Good work

Beautifully fragile, yet with some mystic strength.

Fantastic capture and great POV on this icy image! I like how the snow looks blue in the shadows, and the crystals are magnificent! Nicely done!!!

Jan-Carel, I think you, me, and Rita need to have a little picnic today!!! I'm seeing yummy vanilla ice cream with chocolate syrup!!!!!! and those "twigs", well those are cinamon sticks! and that "grassy" stuff...oh, well, that just...uh....Rita...help me out here girl!!! :) Gee, hope you didn't put grass in our ice cream, Jan-Carel!!!! Chris asked about eating snow. Well, i've eaten quite a bit of snow in my lifetime. Here in Kentucky, a popular treat is snow cream!!! you take fresh snow and add sugar and vanilla! or you can add other flavorings, whatever you like. It's a treat for the "poor" i guess. but once you've had snow cream you'll never want to go to the store and buy ice cream!! anyway, sorry for rambling. ;) i love the way the light falls on the snow, ice & mud and makes it look so beautiful!!! What a yummy photo!!!!!

I enjoy your impressive shots, Jan, no matter if they are perfect or not! I also have my problems with my old cam! but what most counts is to share the fun and joy of finding a wonder! fantastic lighted and reflected close up! looks like clouds made of crystals! ;o)))
