Motif: Snow - "Dead Man's Pass"

[Gus Cobos]

Motif: Snow – “Dead Man’s Pass”

Note: circa 2000.
This is Dead Man’s Pass, in Aspen Colorado; one of the double black diamond slopes.

This was taken mid afternoon around 300 p.m.
The image was painted with an Nikon F100, 35mm film camera, using a Nikkor 20mm f/2.8D AF lens. The negative was scanned into digital jpeg format.


Comments greatly appreciated…:cool:

Doctor Davis,
I use a Microtek ArtixScan M1; dual media scanner. It yields a 4,800 X 9,600 dpi, and 48 bits per pixel. :cool:

I wonder why they call it Dead Mans Pass?:eek::eek::eek:

Beautiful image and some really stunning scanning/scanner work

I feel like I could dive through the monitor and toboggan down that hill. (Possibly ski, doesn't look like a DD:)) Love the DOF and the view, very beautiful Gus! Must have been really high if you are looking down at mountains.

Hi Gus;

Another beauty, looks like it could be a ski race trail? We had one called the Kandahar where you raced through the trees in wet snow & 8' skies.

Keep em coming . . love snow scenes.
