Snow Falling on Redwoods

[Chris Hansen]

Snow falling on the redwood grove behind my house during a snowstorm last winter. I'm not sure if i have everything balanced as it should be. It looks OK to me. All CC appreciated.

OOPS! Forgot to add lighting conditions were it was pitch dark as it was about two a.m.
God bless all,

Hi Chris - reminds me of Christmas - I quite like the soft look of this one.

Chris Hansen, This should be a Christmas card!!! very nice soft effect.

[Alfred Forns]

.... two am !!! What light you had was fairly even Agree on making it into a card. Might tweak the greens for more saturation and lighten the redwoods (slight) Great feel Fine image !!

It would also made a great book cover illustration. I really like this one, Chris.

[Gus Cobos]

This reminds me a pointilist painting. Very nice Chris. Alien Bees?...a type of flash or strobe?

[Chris Hansen]

Jackie,
Alien Bees are a studio flash.They are a prosumer grade flash that has a lot of popularity with people wanting to get into studio lighting with a reasonable price for pretty decent quality. Do a web search for their site. There are some pretty nice images of people there.

Thinking back I may have used two AB 800s. I was trying a variety of combinations that night.
God bless,

Chris
