A change of perspective and the cold light of day.

At times the life of a photographer can send you to some stunning locations.  I recently found myself working (yes, you heard me, working) in the French Alps to cover a skiing competition.

So rather than show you images of skiers, I thought I would share something else.

I don’t really do many landscapes, although I enjoy them, I find them frustrating most of the time because I am either there in the wrong time or I am simply unable to stop and take the photo.  Comes with rushing around doing other things I suppose.

Not typical landscapes and not the same as I have done in the past (I do have some examples on my website http://www.LIMEfotographic.com).  This time I was interested in the fast flowing water, the fresh snow and ice sitting on the rocks and the at times abstract nature.

Specifically looking for long exposures, a good tripod was a must and the help of a local (well kind of a local, an American, or Texan, if he had his way), we went exploring a small stream looking for interesting shots.

I have experimented with some different post production ideas and was inspired to be bold by this same ‘local’ who showed me some of his own work.

Like always, like it or loathe it, the work should speak for itself.  You decide.
