This is an image taken last Easter, when I was out practicing exposure of fresh snow in bright sunlight! Not as easy as you may think, actually…

This little house belongs to a nearby farm, but I don’t quite know the purpose of the building. It is not a blacksmith. It is not a laundry house; both are excluded since there is no chimney!

Anyone who has an idea..?

Hi Pablo

What a nice winter scene you share with us today. It is very refreshing since winter is not here yet but it will soon be there. I love the color of the snow that did not turn blue or grey due to a very accurate exposute. Well framed with the main subject in the lower right third of the photo. This building must me a shed where they store machinery for culture.Congratulation.

Hello Pablo,

very sharp one here. Comparing the shots of Nikon-users and Canon-users, I still find that Nikon-shots have a greater sharpness, like this one. Nice place too.

Luc.

So much fun - so much joy - a lovely shot, Pablo, what can be better than playing in the white snow with sunshine ...
And after that have a nice lunch in front of this cottage, romantic!

Hi Pablo,
Well I guess this is a photo reminding us of what is to come. But I hope not too soon!! I'm guessing also that this is a storage shed of some sort? I really like the shot, esspecially the children sledding in the background. Beautiful photo. TFS

Hi Pablo,
I guess looks of things to come in the near future? I agree with you, it is not easy to photograph snow scenes. In this one you have done well. The snow is not over-exposed while you can still see some of the wood planks in the black wall of the sheds. Well done.

Hello Pablo
You succeeded 10 on 10 for depiction of textures and for those multi "Shades of pale" in snow!
All trails converge towards human interest for a zest of color in this much evocative picture.
Maybe it was a shed for farming equipment because I can see one left outside.

I was also thinking of posting a snowy picture on this weekend. Of course, taking details in high intensity of light is not an easy task. Here you have produced beautiful results in an ambient sun. Magnificient composition from a nice view point. Well done my friend.

Hi Pablo
Well done on the exposure in the snow. I know how bright and difficult it can be capture a snow scene. The cabin really helps to tone down the brightness of the snow and creates a nice POV. The people in the background look like they are having fun on this nice spring day.

This is an example of a terrific light management. Yes, I know how hard it is to control glare for conditions like this. What EV adjustment did you use?

I know Pablo, I failed and OE'ed. Beautiful capture of this fresh snow at Easter. Yes I know - in January there still was no snow where you live - very late this year - therefor we were lucky to see some remain on the mountains!!
Great job,
TFS

PS The shed probably will only be used in summer when they work the slopes, so they don't have to bring the farming equipment up everytime?? (I'm guessing here)

Hello Pablo, I can't believe how Norway looks like Canada, it really could have been shot here in Quebec. Great composition and technique with all those high lights. thanks, well done.

Hello Pablo,
Nice graphical compo with excellent tones of white. The snow in Norway looks pretty clean. Here in the Rhein valley we haven't had much snow since years and if there is some it only takes 1 hour in the morning to make it look grey, muddy and dirty. Guess this picture might become a rarity under global warming. Have a nice day, THomas

Hi Pablo,
Very lovely, "creamy" texture, always so pleasant, and nice colors. I can almost feel my feet sinking into the snow!
A very lovely view.
I have a friend, in Canada, that has a little cottage just like this one, right next to a lake. It's empty inside and we used to spend hours in a row inside it when we were teenagers.
TFS this lovely scenery.

Hello Pablo,
I have no idea of the purpose (a store of some kind...?), but greetings to the builder and to you, because your contrasted brown and white made a great landscape.
Wishes,

Hello Pablo - Yes, the brilliant white of the snow is well managed. I also like how the serrated edge of the roof stands out. The side of hous facing the viewer seems a bit UE, at least on my screen. Still, I like the scene. Well done and, from Australia, TFS! Cordelia :)))

Hi Pablo, beautiful winter image, the white is perfect, the light well managed, very sharp and white balance perfect.

Good inclusion of the kids playing on top. I think that they are sliding.

I think that this house might be for storing vegetables during the winter season. Is it possible?

Well done, Yan :)

Ps: many thx for your crit on "Whistler Village" :)

Hi Pablo,
Fantastic compo. Snow on Easter... How nice it is! Once in my life (in the '80's) I experienced a short snowstorm in the mountains in April, but not that big I see on Your photo. Others say "no, not yet", but I, being snow maniac tell "yes, Pablo, tfs this". I'm sure I mentioned our last winter wasn't worth mentioning (no snow at all), so I'm curiously waiting for this one, to photograph such great images as Yours. I know exposure isn't easy when there's snow and sunlight, but I'd like to try...
There's only one, very small mistake by my opinion: instead of the thick white outer frame You should have created a thin black one - but this is personal. The photo itself is 10 out of 10. Congrats, best regards, László

But this is a very lovely picture, nice, depth and good perspective through the way in the snow.

Not a so fast, Pablo! We are planning for live withut a snow for the 2-4 weeks approx.! :) :)

Nice composed shot. :)

Malik & Mary.

hey Pablo !
The exposure on the snow (as well as the rest of the photograph) looks great. Sharp image as usual with your photographs.

Best regards, Daniel

I would assume it is a wagon or implement storage barn.
So you had to remind us of pending winter conditions! Looks inviting enough if I were writing this from a tropical location, but looking forward to the next 6 months or so of snow and cold.....
Well composed and executed. I'll soon practise taking pics in snow......
Cheers

Excellent scene in brown and white, I like the old wooden cabins, the traces and the texture of snow, the curve of that path and the lonely colorful tourists...

you always have such wonderful snowy scenes - the snow is always very white and pure. great compostition with the people walking away, makes you feel warm and fuzzy...:)

You have a great snow you too! It's cool to see. We have snow too like that. Rare the way it is. I will probably do some sky before it's melt.
A place like that seems perfect for that!

Hi Pablo...well I don't know what the building could be for...but I do know you captured it well, along with the snow and surroundings. Very nice contrast, color and detail. You always do good work Pablo...just wish I could find interesting things like you do.

Schöne Perspektive, Farben, Kontrast und Details. Das ist eine wundervolle Komposition.
Liebe Grüße aus Freising.

No, exposure with snow is not easy at all. but it seems you managed to get it balanced. You can see the details in the snow, which is the main subject.
The hut could be a shelter for cattle (I've seen similars in Swiss mountains) or a store house (probabily for hey), or even a shelter for a tractor. I've noticed that the door is very large, to allow the entrance of big things.
Greetings,
Donato
