Ski Paradise Photo

Photographer’s Note

I know I know we already have summer temperatures and I am still posting photos of winter, but I just had to post some more shots from my Easter holidays.
I took this on the 12th April in Ski Paradise located on the glacier at Kitzsteinhorn - Kaprun (911m - 3029m). Here you can ski or snowboard 365 days of the year.
The sun shimmering in the snow gave the effect that the mountains were made of silver. It was a wonderful experience for the eyes.
In TL, you can see another photo from this place.

Another angle with the silver mountains in my WS.

Hallo Lili,
wunderschöne Aufnahme des Skigebiets. Die Weite ist wundervoll zu sehen und die kleine Punkte der Skifahrer auf den Pisten und Liften kommen gut rüber. Die Zeichnungen auf dem Schnee gefallen mir ausgezeichnet. Eine sehr ansprechende Wintersportaufnahme mit kraftvollen blauem Himmel.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

o intreaga industrie. Imi place in schimb culoarea perfecta a cerului si reflexiile argintii ale zapezii.Super.

Hi Lili:

That does look like a ski paradise! I like the composition on this one--the line of the ski lift cutting through the picture, and the highest peak at center in the background. Great job.

Hi Lili, this is a very beautiful picture. Great colors, lighting, and super sharp. My request from you: would you mind putting all the information of this picture, for example, f stop, shutter speed, camera type, lens type... Thanks

The contrast between the deep blue of the sky and the white of the snow/ice is something amazing Liliana. this is a great picture, well composed, stunning colours and superb sharpen.

Hi Liliana,
The light is here strange, it makes the snow looks grey and on other parts pure white. I like these play with highlights and shadows and know how difficult it can be to make the best out of it.
Deep blue sky, perfect contrast to the snow, very important.
Like your border also, thin lines in soft grey...very good..!!!
Regards, Henk

Paolo (40818) 2007-05-02 12:50

Hi Liliana, a good one, with excellent exposure to capture that not easy light with all that reflecting snow.
excellent POV and good quality too.
thanks, ciao

Emile (20189) 2007-05-03 16:04

Hola Liliana.
You are right, the sunlight against the snow give the impression that the mountains are made of silver. Good colors and POV. Great composition.
Regards.

Hi Lili. A great photo of a superb looking resort. The colour of the sky is amazing (polariser?) and you've kept the snow 'white' instead of the blue that often appears. Really nice shot. Kind regards, Paul.

Apologies - jus noticed I've run out of smileys tonight......aaaarghhh!!

abulafia (4802) 2007-05-05 13:10

Hi Liliana
It does indeed look like a ski paradise!
I like the strong light from behind and very saturated blue sky.
Regards
Harry

guillaumejm (34) 2007-05-05 15:32

Hello liliana
A nice view from the alps. But I think the snow colour is to brown here. I think I prefer the one you have in the WS.
Kind regards
JMarc

Hey Liliana,

I like the scale of the landscape using skiers gliding down the slopes. Shimmering 'silver' texture and contrast has strongly shaped the horizon very well. It has gracefully outlined so many details like lines and the edges of the mountain slopes. The beautiful blue sky adds life to this snow wonderland!

Cheers!

rabani (9463) 2007-05-10 23:34

A new thing to me, seeing this. You did well in getting the silvery sheen of this snowy mountain Lili.

dougie (2920) 2007-05-11 14:19

Hi,
The light angles are producing interesting silvery tones on the upper slopes. Initially appears as a quite empty scene but there is lots happening in the fine detail. Thanks.
Dougie.

shevchenko (10511) 2007-05-14 23:48

Hi Liliana,
The sun light reflect by the snow is not the problem to obstruct you to make a good photo, good composition and good pov to have cable cars and sporting peoples in this image.

Hi Liliana
Realy the silver mountains makes impressive view. At first I've thought you've desaturated them. Very interesting observation an very nicely composed shot. Greetings T.

mrcrow (3989) 2007-06-07 15:23

like toys on a tableau..the skiers are dotted in a good formation to make the wide panel of snow interesting
dominating sky..polariser?
exposure has made the snow look like snow..not mud or burnt out
good technique
cheers

rossy85 (2865) 2007-06-08 4:08

Hi Liliana,
Magnificent ski paysage. I love the blue color of the sky in contrast to the white "gold" snow. Beautiful frame. Thank you,

Hiya Liliana, nice clear and sharp shot, wonderful silver shimmer off the snow, the people really hightlight the scale of the mountain, nice composition, very nice capture!

tmx (1322) 2007-10-13 4:24

hi Lili, wonderful winter -- hills look like build up from silk or any silver material. I've been in Salzburg but didn't try to climb up the mountain. nice framin and sky. tfs

Hi Liliana,
Beautiful composition and colours.Sharp is very good.
greetings dario

aloyho (6111) 2007-10-29 0:37

Hi Liliana,
A beautiful crisp shot with very attractive highlights. The absence of very strong glares which are always associated with snow suggested good lighting control and the presence of the skiers give a strong feeling of space. Splendid shot!!

All the best.

pierrefonds (27438) 2008-03-10 4:01

Hi Liliana,

This mountain under a beautiful blue sky is impressive. The presence of skiers is giving an idea of the size of the mountain. The point of view leads our eyes towards the top of the mountains. A place to relax and enjoy skiing. Have a nice day.
