Wicklow Snow Glendalough
-
Hello,
This is my first post to the site but I have recently become an advertiser so thought I might contribute some images too. Theres really lots of beautiful work on these pages photographyireland.net which is a joy to view.
Below are some snow scenes captured during the cold snap at Glendalough..
All images were shot on Provia 100 on a Pentax 67

might anyone be able to tell me why the images posted are not displaying at 100% within the post?????
Love the second one Peter, beautiful image.
I think you may only be linking the images to the site and not
embedding them?Hi Peter,
2 very nice pics there.
have a read of this . . .

very subtil and beautiful images…both and unusual for ireland landscape. I guess, that the magenta/purple colourmood is added? very peacefull scene! congrats
The cold tones and magenta are a by product of the early morning light and colour temperature and the manner in which transparency film interprets this light. Minor adjustments to the shadow and highlight details were made during post production but the colour balance largely matches the transparency..
I prefer the first Peter. The foreground in the second isnt doing you any favours. Really lovely tones in both.
Stunning work Peter…. I have been a fan of your website for a while… Good to have you on board here…!

Welcome aboard Peter – and I echo ritchie’s comments on your website.
I see you’ve swapped the images around since I last looked which makes the above comments a little confusing.
Love the one with the tree – very atmospheric.
The other one has interesting foreground but I am not 100% sure it has worked. It may just be the white on white here which means the foreground loses impact as it is bleeding off into the rest of the page?

Very good-
I do like the look of Provia, and like the restrained palette-Particularly like the second here,
though I am a big fan of pictures with strong vertical and horizontal divisions-
essentially two pictures in one, each with its own composition, yet working as a whole-I had a quick look at your website too,
very impressive, and a distinctive look to your pictures-welcome to the site, now that you’ve figured out how to post, hope to see more-

Thanks all for the welcome and feedback. Heres some black backrounds for the images posted. I have tended to really make snow as white as possible sometimes even loosing detail as I feel this conveys the freshness I experienced..
Framing makes a big difference to the second imho.
Do you recommend this film? detail is very good for an image that is scanned in…
I’d actually say that without the framing I prefer the first, with the framing I prefer the second.
Both wonderful shots (though I believe thats been said already :-) )
Liam,
Choice of film all depends on circumstance. I recommend provia when shooting snow as it will keep the snow whiter than a film like velvia which will leave a more magenta and sometimes deep blue cast. Provia also has a greater dynamic range than films like velvia so is better equipped to deal with the high contrast conditions that wintery weather provides. Astia is another film which is good in this regard.
However if you want a sky to pop and sing all the colours under the rainbow then velvia is your man. Be prepared for more much more saturation and magenta but higher contrast.
