First day of winter... Photo

Photographer’s Note

I greet everyone from TE after long break caused by serious problem with internet provider. Now is okay:)

The Silesia region has been attacked by a snow storm. The speed of its wind was exceeding 100km/h. Many people has been falling down due to a strengh of the wind. Also many trains have been cancelled because of tracktion faulitures. The trees that strok down caused many kilometers long traffic stroke. Yesterday the storm caused seven deadly accidents. . .

Focal lenght 40 mm
ISO speed: 100

Well Aleks, I am glad you are back, always enjoy your images and this one is no exception. It remainds me what will hit me in the next couple of weeks. I like this photo for number of reasons: event that isn't spectacular presented in a interesting way, the body language of poeple tells it all, gives me that nasty feeling, nice contrast between the darker poeple and the rest of the image achieved despite miserable lighting conditions.
Well done as usual.
Peter
PS were you under roof, if not how did you protect you camera?

Aleksander, this is a B&W picture I like a lot. The contrast and focus goes to the people having troubles in this storm, so the attention goed to them.
Well done!
