december landscape

[Marko Trebusak]

Portrait and still life monthly threads are doing well, and this landscape thread is becominr rather long, so let's try with monthly landscape threads as well....

I'm very pleased, that snow finaly came back to this land. This was taken with Hermagis Eidoscope no.3 soft focus objective just few yards from our house.

Cheers,
Marko

Nice!

I like that frosty tree! I’ll add some cold, volcanic rocks to the mix.

With a sprinkling of holiday snow, lower left.

In the center, a frigid cascade, splashing into the abyss of the Grinch.

Henderlong Vyd. smudge pot



John, I like both of these. But one question: what's a smudge pot? Is this what we kiwis would call a frost pot (i.e. a device that burns fuel to change the micro-climate and keep frost at bay)?

Cheers

[mandoman7]

Hello Carey. A smudge pots are used to prevent freezing. They set them all over the vineyard and burn some kind of smokey fuel in there. We've had a cold winter so far. Usually these are used in the spring to protect the young sprouts. Glad you like the photos

Nice use of focus there. :D

Very nice Marko.

I live in Colorado at 7000ft. above sea level. We've seen a dusting of snow this fall/winter at the very end of November. It was a record for the latest first recorded snow in our town. We usually get measurable snow by mid October and sometimes in September here. Its awfully dry, drab brown and gray right now.

Come on... SNOW!

We are having a very cold spell here in Scotland at present. Unfortunately as we have had a reasonable amount of snow, followed by a snap freeze my car is stuck in the car park, meaning I can't get out into the wider landscape....bugger. So here are a few from last year, pretty much identical conditions at this time.
First one is from the hill overlooking Inveraray, where I am staying over the winter, digi snap from last night. You can almost see the car stuck in the snow!
Second one is Glen Nevis, the river was completely frozen over. There is a small waterfall just below where this was taken, all day long climbers were ice climbing it before heading up to Steall falls, about a mile upriver, about 150ft ice fall.

Very beautiful image, Marko.

Yikes...so we'll now be required to keep up with our film development? :D I'm still backed up into October, but I did happen to process this negative the other night because I was curious how it turned out. The image probably needs a bit more fine tuning, but here's the general result/direction (Tachihara 4x5, Fujinon 135mm, Yellow 12 + 2 stop hard edge GND, Tmax 100 in Xtol 1:1):

This shot is wonderful. You really managed the tones well here, IMO.

Wonderful image Joel.

Not really :D. My backlog is enormous, but since I was curious what will come out of this as well, I push this image a few months forward regarding development :rolleyes:.

A couple more. First one is a small Lochan just north of Oban, as the water level was dropping there were several cracks, as the ice level dropped, almost like gunfire.
Second is of Sron na Creise, which sits opposite Buachaille Etive Mhor, at the head of Glen Etive. This was taken early one morning on a workshop in Glencoe last winter.

I think I used a 210mm Apo-Symmar, my mind was a bit frosty from hiking all day.

That's lovely Duane. Such lovely tonality.

Duane: Terrific job!
Gari: I especially like the one of Sron na Creise. I spent the 1989-90 academic year at St Andrews. Unfortunately, I was just starting to get into photography.
Joel: Nicely done!

Gary, these are quite nice, I particularly like the second one. BTW, I'm still enjoying your print from the exchange.

Great shots...landscapes like this is why I continue to miss Scotland.

That's a neat one, John.

Thanks Preston, Don, & Peter. I'm glad I went back home to get that tripod piece after all. (!)

[CarstenW]

Great perspective. I get the distinct impression that the trees are only a few inches tall.

No, when you look at the trees in that back, the vines look like they are a meter [~yard] tall.

A group of trees in falling snow. Made at Kapelsche Veer in Noord-Brabant, the Netherlands. Scene of severe fighting during the winter of 1944/1945 (WW2). I used a Master Technika and a Sironar N 210mm ad f/32. Some postprocessing in Lightroom.

Frank, I like this image! It's such a simple and efficient photo. Your comment of fighting makes it something different, but I'm not quite certain in what way.

Two shots from a walk this very cold morning. We have lots of snow right now in Germany, the highest in decades.

I know it's January already, but this was shot in December, a week before Christmas...
