A lonely dog sled, a photo from Oppland, South

Photographer's Note

As I took a walk on a sunday the snow was falling and the forest was gray, this lonely dogsled came along the road. I had to increase the contrast to get a clear photo. The snow was falling so the sky was white.

I used a plastic bag to keep the camera from gettig wet and it tok a few hours to get the camera tempered to room temp afterwords so I could go inside to view the days photos.

Hello Halgeir,
It is a well composed photograph, and it is easy to see you had some really bad weather here...
I didn't try but I think something can be done to improve this one, I only mention adding even more punch... converting to B&W or maybe sepia?
I'll give you for composition and brave effort!
Greetings,

Nice photo of how bad the easter weather might be.
I like your positioning of the dog sled in this photo, it adds for a sudden change of colour feel.
Good job on getting the snowfall into this picture, it really makes a good job to illustrate how cold this actually is.

Hi Halgeir, An excellent action shot to capture the action, the snow and the forest environment. I believe that it was tough condition for you to take this picture as well. A well taken picture. Thanks for sahring.

This is a great picture. I think its slightly overexposed, easily done with so much white in the frame, but this doesn't matter as I feel it enhances the image. Good effort!

Halgier,

I can almost feel the cold and biting wind from this picture. The snow, the trees, the wind; it looks just like our winters here in Canada!

Nice view! Looks like the dogs and the man are put in the picture:) But you should've maybe focues a bit more on them and centered them more to the left? I'm not sure.. can't really make up my mind abiut this one.

You can get the chills by watching this pic for too long..:)

Hei gjenn,

I like how you've captured the cold and blizard like conditions. I like how the dogsled and drives are in contrast to the rest of the scene. TFS.
