Hey, Alan - you've cracked the big one! Well done. If only you could get a nice sharp photo one day, just imagine the possibilities! ;-)
Yeah, I was shivering so much it just added to the effect
- perhaps I should start a new trend in UCM :-). Ever see snow in your neck of the woods Chris?
Not what you’d call snow, Alan! I get excited at an icing-sugar dusting of the landscape in Tassie, and quite excited to think there might be ice on the road, like some frontier hero. Deeply envious of people who can see snowy, frozen landscapes, especially as I’m fond of cool, bluish colours in anything. So I find them in the sky, the sea, and the odd tractor.
Mind you, I don’t like BEING cold more than anyone else, so maybe I’d better stop bitchin’. Pretty temperate here. I’ll let you suffer for your art, and my enjoyment. There you are – now you know my sadistic streak.
Ah, but that's what makes the result so fulfilling Chris. Where's the enjoyment in simply strolling down to a beautiful beach and capture a breathtaking sunset or a gorgeous girl in a bikini?
Nah, trudging through snow with freezing feet, even colder hands and risking life and limb skating across unplowed roads to get to location is much more fun....
(Yep, can't wait for summer...…)
Thanks, William - more like freezing than cool at the time :-)
Well done Alan! Been fun to watch you develop this style over the last several months. Well deserved recognition!
Thanks Josh, I appreciate your kind comment. It's heartwarming to know that some have actually followed this progression. I'm still experimenting, still learning and still hoping to improve.
Tripod, Alan. Look it up.
There's a time and a place for everything Chris. I find using a tripod in a foot of snow on sub-zero days not ideal.
Perhaps once they make one with built in hand warmers...…..
love it, great work, like processing
Thanks Gus, I appreciate your kind comments.
Brilliant job Alan, congrats and very well deserved!
Hi Joe, it’s so good to see you back. Hoping to see more from you and your educated input
Hello Alan....this is where I want to be in a year...! Just a rookie, but love this type of imagery ! Nice work !
Thanks - the key is to get out there, keeping experimenting and don't be afraid to fail.
So freaking beautiful, really nice work
Hey Trevor, I really appreciate your generous comment
Sensational work Alan.
Thanks for your kind words Bruce - I really appreciate it!
Soooo... there are so many people posting amazing work on this site but in all seriousness Alan - very few are "artists" nor do they have distinct work that is so identifiable. You are an artist as is evident in images like this. This is so beautiful!
Gee Ruth, I am so honored by your kind words. This has special meaning coming from an artist I much admire.
Thanks You!!
