[Theme] Winter 2016/2017
« on: December 20, 2016, 00:57:23 »
Taken with D750 and 85/1.4 AF-D.
I almost discarded this photo die to the fact that it is a tad overexposed - but then I realised it was the best I made that day on the road from Zagreb to Belgrade a week ago.
I am also curios to see the winter photos from California and other regions of the world without ice and snow.
Perhaps those down under can open a summer thread :)

The overexposure works nicely here to render the dazing backlight.  Glad you didn't discard it!

Jakovic style!

But be careful, this is bordering on Bjørnesque  8) 8) 8)

Beautifully done my friend.

Thank you, Hans!
It's a huge compliment to me whenever my images are compared with Bjørn's :)

I was saying to Bob the other day - in winter it's too cold to shoot - in summer it's too hot  ;D ;D
