Went looking for Ice

[Rick Schump]

With the temps in the upper 20's and low 30's we went looking for ice and snow. Short day limited our excursion, so without any luck in the low lying hills. We shot what Mother nature wanted us to, back lit forests - which just happens to be a favorite of mine.

You got some snow in that last frame

I am a serious fan of backlit moss and you handled the range of light well on these.

Well, this may not have been what you were looking for Rick, but you came away with some awesome shots. Especially #1, that one is masterfully done.

Alan you have no idea of how much I shoot back lit forests, or forests in general. They are always a hard shoot. With no define subject point and the extremes in light to shadow. Not sure why I'm drawn to it so much other than I must like head aches. One of these days I may get good at it.

Thanks Jim, Some time you get lucky.

[Leslie Hunter]

Beautiful

Forest scenes are difficult to pull off and backlit even harder. These are well done with a real primal look. Maybe there's a primal urge pulling you to the forest .

 

[Jameel Hyder]

Ech what Mike said. The first one is special

 

[Jim Dockery]

I vote for #3, I like the snowy rocks leading up into the golden trees at the top center. I'm a sucker for the backlit moss too. Where are these? Looks a lot like the Cascades in my backyard, The Mountain Loop Hwy.

Nice set, I like 1 and 3 in equal measure.

 

[Rick Schump]

Kyle - The first one was the one I felt was the best also. Though not sure I would consider it special. Think I'm a hard critic on myself.
Leslie - Thanks for the kind words.
Mike - You may be right. I have always been drawn to the forest, esp. when the light decides to come and dance.
Jameel - Thank you
Jim D. - It is your back yard. The Index - Galeena Road. Past Index. If you ever want to get together to shoot, Let me know.
Ben - Thank you, always nice to hear from you.
