I think I might have been afraid to take this picture. :lol: Shadowed snow against a bright blue sky? Flawless exposure - my eyes are roaming all over it.

Great post!

I think the thing that 'makes' this is the sign on the left. I love that it was included.

It said '2' but it was facing the wrong way and moving it would have meant putting footy prints all over the snow.
C'est la vie!

Ok, tell us.. how many times did you over expose this until you got this fantastic shot?

[Hertz van Rental]

I did it in one shot.
It's just a matter of knowing how to meter ;)

Beautiful scene! That smooth-edged, gently rolling horizon really grabs me for some reason, and I love the little puff of cloud low down on the far left of the horizon. The differing shades of blue in the sky is really attractive, and I like how the main cloud has an essentially diagonal angle to it. There are lots of interesting 'lines' my eye keeps finding (grass line, cloud line, horizon, tracks, snowmounds etc). As Terri noted, the viewer's eye really roams around the shot

As Terri mentioned the exposure is really something.
I especially like how the clouds balance out the dip in the horizon line and the 'weight' from the tracks in the snow.

This is to blue as what Augusta National is to green. Very, very, nice.

It is absolutely stunning!

Wow... he still make photos.

Geezzzzz! I can't remember the last time I saw you post an image. What does she have on you?

[Karissa]

Wow Hertz.. I think that sounds like a challenge...

I'm afraid that I've got to the stage where I only take pictures when I feel like it - and I don't often feel like it. Just now and then.
My photography is now of a more literary nature.
But I have my moments... ;)

Beautiffuly exposed . . . It's a B****r to get that amount of detail in the snow and not burn out the sky. All too often now we tend to rely on post processing to correct our mis-judgements and this shows how you need that detail to start with as however clever the computer is - it can not make something out of nothing.

Congratulations - an image well worth waiting for.

Meter on the point you want to be white and then expose 3 stops down.
