snow

[Valerio Tarone]

I saw some images in various forums on trees in the snow, I decided to challengew the subject. I've been searching leading lines in the trunks.

ISO 200 zoom Nikkor 70-300 f 4 f4,2 1/45 very small work in contrast B/W auto Af





Commments & c. wellcome

I understand your idea with leading lines formed from tree trunks, the image seems a bit blur (possibly due to camera shake) and low on contrast.

[Valerio Tarone]

thanks kaushik
contrast may be improved in CS4, I don't see blur ..I should crop the top.

The lines are interesting, but my eye can's seem to find an anchor. Sorry, it looks blurry to me as well.

[Valerio Tarone]

Thank you Ed
Ok. Today I've got others images, this is the one with shortest shutter time. Using The tripod risulted impossible because of the position.

Hi Valerio, Generally a leading line takes your eye from one point to another. I really don't see a leading line in the image other than a mass of trees. The image is soft probably due to camera shake shooting at 1/45 sec. Generally an effective way to make a composition out of the subject presented is to find a dominant tree or part of and create a comp out of that area.

thank you David.

Valerio,

I have to agree with the other here.
