Summer time in the North Photo

Photographer’s Note

Just a little reminder that adjusting the clock one hour forward not necessarely mean that the summer is here. At least not up in our mountains where this shot was made app. at 8 pm (1 hour ago when posted) this evening when the sun was setting.
The house is a part of a small summerfarm, of course closed down in the winter.

(HDR - pls. forgive the little unsharpness in the lower part- probably the result of shooting freehand out of the car window)

Hallo Jack, endelig bra at lavlandet her i Rogaland har hatt noen fine dager med temperaturer som sender kvikksølvet rett over 10 grader.

A very interesting photo that shows us that not everything is alike all around our long country.
The colour finish looks excellent, deep tones and with very hsarp features in the background.
Pity about the foreground, what do we have to expect from handheld HDR..
Take care.

Hello Jack
Great HDR picture.
In these days i'm litterally fascinated by the beauty of hdr photos (I'm intentioned to buy a new SLR camera to experimentate by myself).
In this shot i like the brilliant white of windows and snow on the roof and the orange-yellow over the horizon.

Nice moody result on this one, Jack. Good rendition of the subtle details in the evening light, and well-used foreground with the textured snowy coating and the emerging fence. The red house well placed to anchor the compo. Good shot.

Hei Jack
what I prefer in this one is actually the background, the barn is nice but I really like how crisp clear clean it loks like above the distant mountain range
Have a nice evening JY

salut jack
un jour fabuleux que j'ai connu en visitant la norvége, jour irréel qui n'en fini pas et la nuit qui dure trés peu, un paysage plein de nature sauvage sous la neige

Hello Jack, the composition is great. The farm is well placed to balance the shot. The colors give a moody shot with nice details. Here in Luxemburg we have 19° C in the Moselle valley!!!!

True, this looks more liek I imagine Norway, than Miguel shot of Spain :-)

Lovely colours at the magic hour.

Jack,
Excellent photo with great lighting. The colors in the sky are outstanding and give nice contrast to the snow and red house. I like your composition and POV here with the fence in the foreground creating nice lines and angles.
TFS,
Asa

Hello Jack,

Une photographie ou le traitement HDR est très discret ! Il y a un peu de distorsion et de manque de netteté dans la partie droite mais cela ne gâche pas l'image qui est très belle ! Superbe paysage qui se termine par ce ciel aux couleurs chaudes !
Bien vu !

Hello Mr. Johanson,
Nice summer time reminder, much better than that of WindowsXP.
I love the northern sunset colors at the horizon and this one is a perfect light management, so sharp and every detail is visible. I love the red color on the side of the summerhouse and the window frames add a lot of charm as well as contrast to the left part of this magic shot. TFS,
Regards,
Deniz

Hi Jack,

Indeed summer time in North, I find this very well, we can late in the evening make a bike trip. We forgive you the little unsharpness in the lower part, it's almost not to see.
Lovely the sihouettes from the mountains against the pink colour of the low sun.
My question Jack, HDR is this a advantage or is this simple a artwork. Thanks for sharing.

Have a nice day,
John.

Emile (20117) 2007-03-27 10:10

Hola Jack.
Another great HDR picture with an excellent composition, the sunset scene is beautiful with the orange sky color and the red-wine color of the house. The three white windows and the snow in the dark area of the house looks marvelous. Very good POV and the fence give your shot a good perspective.
Well done. TFS.
Best wishes.

Paolo (40753) 2007-03-27 10:20

Hi Jack, wonderful view, with the the sunset colours close to the distant mounts and the beautiful house on the foreground.
the exposure was excellent, as the quality and the POV.
thanks, ciao

Hi Jack,
Lovely light with this yellow tone and the light reflection on snow, well framed with this house. Well made.

Hello, jack!
Very cold summer, I suppose. I like color of the sky above the mountains. Nice coexistence of deep blues and oranges!
regards,
Greg

Hello , Jack.
What a beautiful photo . I fancy photos taken at dusk - this very special time of the day .
It supplies the photo with a very special atmosphere and mood . a state of peace of mind !
I am very impressed with the colour of the sky and your composition is excellent as it leads my eye gently along the fence , past this idyllic little red wooden house and across the rocky terrain to the mountains !
My compliments!
Dorte.

Beautiful light Jack and excellent angle, nice sunset, the fence is a bit distracting at the bottom left with the huge post compare to others, anyway a beautiful landscape behind, well done !
