This is an early morning shot of the lodge with the looming Mount Shuckson behind it.
This is an extra photo I threw in, taken in Chile this summer. The sunset was gorgeous but which can unfortunately can be credited to loads of pollution in the city below.
This is another extra from Chile that I like because to me, it really says "landscape". The cool thing about it is that it was taken through fiberglass out of helicopter.
This is the view from the tops of the ski resort last week. I feel like I've got a lot to learn about how to use the sun to your advantage when your shooting into it.
This is a little wind lip that my friends were playing around on. I liked the contrast provided by the shadows, forming a line down the middle of the photo.
Frozen alpine trees!
Here is a view of the Casacade mountain range with the clouds rolling in at the end of the day. I changed it to B&W in Picassa in order to give it a stormy mood and accentuate the contrast of the scene.
This was taken pretty early in the morning, our first hike out. I feel like I would've liked to change the angle a little, highlighting the tracks in the snow.
I love every single one of this photos! The height, the angles, the lighting, the color compositions! Absolutely perfect! Great job!
ReplyDeleteKristin. Wow!!! Gorgeous photos. I love the feel of how strong the mountains feel and the sunset, the sky almost reminds me of sand ripples. The photo from the helicopter is breathtaking! To see the views you have captured and are able to share with others are terrific. The best part of photos is that you get to see views others capture that you will never get to see and almost take yourself there through their camera lens. Awesome job.
ReplyDeleteThese photos are gorgeous! You have beautiful locations to photograph, but you really make the most of them by capturing interesting angles, patterns and perspectives.
ReplyDeleteNice job this week Kristin. Second photo is off the hook. (sorry for the early 90's slang). I love the color's of it. Makes me want to go back and retake some more pictures, well done.
ReplyDeleteWhile all these shots are great landscapes I personally like the choice of black & white on the Cascades it gives the photo a real old time feel and adds a lot to the contrasts I think the lack of bright color gives the picture more power.
ReplyDeleteBreathtaking! All of these photos are amazing. The crisp blue sky against the beautiful pure white snow is striking! I really like the sun is shining its rays down onto that gorgeous mountain. Amazing...
ReplyDeleteKristin You have got to be kidding me, these photos look like they were taken from a national geographics employee there completely amazing. They all have amazing contrast everything compliments itself in these photos and by the looks of it you go on some pretty amazing trips can I go with you! lol
ReplyDeleteWow, all of your photos are fabulous! My favorite is the alpine trees, the bright blue sky is so amazingly blue and yet there is a sinister feeling in the way it turns darker toward the left corner of the picture. The trees look so cold! Very simple yet just right, I love it!
ReplyDeleteVery very cool pics. Love the first one. Its such a simple pick, I think that is why I like it so much. Shows off three different aspects. Very cool photos.

You went all out with these, Kristin. I'm glad to see such stunning snow shots and you managed to use the shooting into sun trick to your advantage. The trick as you found out is to get just a little of the sun or to use a shade on your lense. I love both the Chile ones, such stunning color and contrast.
