Entre Noël et le jour de l'an, nous étions partis camper en refuge dans la Zec des Martres dans la région de Charlevoix, histoire de se lancer un bon défi de 4 jours d'autonomie en raquettes. Après une grosse journée de randonnée sur le Mont du Lac à l'Empèche et le Mont Du Four, le soleil qui nous avait chaleureusement accueilli le matin s'était caché le reste de la journée, mais nous a réchauffé de ses dernier rayons sur le retour.
Les ombres très longues du soleil bas en ces jours les plus courts de l'année jouaient très bien sur les sapins givrés et endormis, paysage paisible après une longue journée de marche dans le vent déchirant des crêtes.

Traversée de charlevoix

Between Christmas & New Year's Eve, we were gone camping in shacks in the "Zec des Martres" of the Charlevoix region, in order to go through 4 days of autonomous snowshoeing. After a hard day's trekking on the "Lac à l'Empèche" mount and the "Du Four" mount, the sun that greeted us warmily in the morning hid for the rest of the day, but warmed us of it's last rays for a moment on the way back.
The long shadows of the low sun on these shortest days of the year were playing beautifully among the frosted & slumbering evergreens, a peacefull landscape after a long day's walk in the tearing wind of the ridges.

Hi Bruno,

very nice atmosphere for this wonderful place.
Nice exposure and colours.

Compliment,

Paolo

Exceptional light, great timing, but why does it have to be so bright? I tried a workshop if you don't mind.

Great winter composition!

Best regards!
Lili

Bonsoir Bruno,
Belle prise de vue et superbe composition, quel beauté ce paysage !! wow! les couleurs sont magnifiques et la lumière superbe, excellent contraste et détails, le sapinage enterré sous la neige c'est sublime..Belle note..
Bravo..
Michel

Wonderful capture of winter light, exposure is perfect. A postcard image really, just as I imagine Canada! The only suggestion could be that if the path was not co centered but a little bit diagonal to add a little more interest to the image. It is lovely anyway and you note is very good also.
Thanks
NBM

Hi Bruno
Well done. I like this slight over exposure as it gives a different feel to this scene. The WS is perhaps more technically correct but this is different. Intentional I hope??

Salut Bruno
Atmosphère magique, féérique. J'aime beaucoup l'ambiance feutrée, vaporeuse de cette scène d'hiver.

* Tnx for your comments on my picture

Nice work Bruno, a postcard quality scene. I like the neon blue from the sky against the white, adding more life to the scene. I will also consider taking a shot of these where the path is a bit off centered to enhance the composition.

Spectacular wonderland view of snowy scene in favorable and striking lighting conditions. Great shot.

Hi Bruno,

This is an image that brings me wonderful memories of my youth growing up in Michigan. (We have a Charlevoix in Michigan as well.) This is exactly what it would look like when my father and I would trek out to cut firewood from the fallen pine and oak cuts (forestry land management). What I really enjoy in places like this is the unbelievable silence.

OK, enough reminiscing. The side-lit trees and that hint of blue are my favorite parts to this. There are a few tiny spots where the snow over-exposed on you but it doesn't diminish the image in the least for me.

Cheers!

Hi Bruno, this is a very calming Winter mountain landscape. Very well captured with the long shadows of the evergreens casted on the snow, its a very inviting image. Thanks for sharing...Alex

Very good composition you got here. The white atmosphere is fantastic. thanks for sharing

Hi Bruno,
Great shadows and lights in this photo!
This landscape is really similar than northern Finland landscape.
Beautiful work!

bonjour Bruno
c'est tout simplement magnifique!Je crois que ce qui réhausse la beauté de ce paysage déjà splendide,ce sont les longues ombres sur la neige,la petite trouée bleue entre les nuages qui apporte une magnifique touche de couleur,et les sapins qui se détachent ,presque fluorescents, sur le ciel sombre!Une merveille!
Amicalement.
Pascale

Salut!
J'adore ces paysage fraichement enneigés, vierge. Il y a une magnifique lumière qui s'oppose bien au ciel chargé de nuages. La trace est une invitation à s'évader dans ce paysage. Salutations amicales. Samuel

G'day Bruno!

Great soft lighting in this shot - I wish it had been me in those snowshoes, taking this shot! Just beautiful............

Best wishes,
Jeff
