Broye, Switz., Dec 2006

A strange December... the coolest we had until now is -4°, no snow...

Thanks everyone for commenting.

 

Sam, I always see my daily life as a permanent cosmic cataclysm... i.e., as it actually is. :o

 

Stuart, no, I think you're right: it is oversharpened, especially in the foreground grass, but that's the price I had to pay to maintain some sharpness in the mountains after the downsizing (Lanczos interpolation instead of a linear o cubic one).

 

Cheers,

Gérald

@Gerald : as you may know, seeing such a picture (and what a picture…) gives me all the more desire to go live over that side of the Alps. Only, please, keep a little snow aside for me until I'm there ;)

Gerald,.......... I always enjoy a good D2 image. Personal reasons. This is a beautifully composed image. Minnesota, USA.....no snow, raining, snowshoes still hanging in the garage....Al

Lovely frosty shot.

 

 

 

no snow...

 

Depends where you are :) Yesterday on the 'Midi. Of course I was only up there because there is no skiing and my annual pass is burning a hole in my pocket!

Thank you again for the comments.

 

Johan, I'll do my best. Last year I had snow since end of November until end of March; this year I maybe could use a snow canon to help you... ;-)

 

Michael, this afternoon, in a mall I saw a big table with good wine (white and red), a lot of dry meat (from Valais) and an attractive young lady trying to sell their pass... ;-)

 

Bernardo, indeed, this peculiar "last moment" of light is very special (and short), it usually disappear as soon as it started.

 

Cheers,

Gérald

Mister G.,

You would be so kind. May I ask you to push on the button until first of April ?:cool:

If you happen to drive up to the North Sea, I could have a talk with Eole for you…

Gerald -

 

I've looked again from home (better monitor). Interestingly, I do not perceive over sharpening on my better monitor, so I assume the effect was an artifact of my inferior, work monitor. I now have absolutely no objection to this superb shot.

Gérald,

Impeccable classical composition!

Powerful «illustration» of a landscape you described so many times

in Paço de Arcos!

Now I have a more accurate idea of the region you live in.

As for the «hot December», come back to Serra da Estrela, my friend! :-)

 

Um abraço,

José

José, I'm glad you begin to see what I tried to mean... Now, it would be nice to see it by yourself. ;)Stuart, on my (well calibrated and fair quality) monitor, I can see a bit of over-sharpness in the foreground. But thanks anyway. :)

 

Amado, the horse was walking... :cool:

 

Johan, talk to Eole, I need some fresh sea winds.

 

Gérald
