Merci Gilles, c'était très agréable de se trouver en groupe, malgré le froid, n'est pas? vu@granby - Wolfgang Diane Schuller from Hythe, Canadagreat action shot in such incredible weather. That shot of yellow and the bit of red really focus the viewer's eye. Splendid. 26 Feb 2009 8:08pm @Diane Schuller: Yes, the blizzard created a kind of natural filter for the background colors to make the red and yellow pop out. Thanks for your visit Diane! vu@granby - Wolfgang @Rehim: Thanks for visiting Rehim! I think it's your first visit , and you are welcome to come back anytime! vu@granby - Wolfgang john4jack from Corvallis, United StatesWolfgang - I understand what you mean about it being totally natural. With winter shots, you can frequently get that kind of results. It's neat when it happens, and makes for some terrific photographs. 26 Feb 2009 9:22pm @john4jack: You are so right about that one! Weather like rain, fog or winter can be our ally for interesting photos! vu@granby - Wolfgang Sylvain Larivière from Granby, CanadaPour mon ancien prof d'escrime, tu as bien « touché » avec ta caméra. Ce fut un plaisir de te revoir... après 35 ans... mais on n'a pas vieilli; la preuve, on se promène encore au froid pour saisir de belles images comme la tienne. Au plaisir, 26 Feb 2009 9:46pm @Sylvain Larivière: Merci Sylvain! Pour moi aussi c'était très agréable de te revoir! C'est vrai qu'on fait encore des folies de jeunesse à notre âge! ;-) vu@granby - Wolfgang Evelyne Dubos from Le Mans, FranceVraiment impressionnant cette tempête de neige !! et ces touches de couleurs de ce sportif qui brave les intempéries et qui semble apprécier, sont du plus bel effet 26 Feb 2009 9:57pm @Evelyne Dubos: Merci Evelyne! C'est bien différent de tes photos d'Afrique que j'invite tout le monde de regarder! vu@granby - Wolfgang shallowregret from Kongsberg, Norwaythat sure looks cold, glad to see more people putting their equipment and fingers in danger to get the results :-) 26 Feb 2009 10:27pm @shallowregret: Looks like it takes a descendant of Vikings or a "crazy Canuck" to brave the elements of winter for some photos! vu@granby - Wolfgang Rabbit from Richmond, United StatesNo that looks like FUN! Super FUN - I want to try! Although I recently tried to snowboard and lets just say - I should really go for lessons next time. 26 Feb 2009 10:50pm @Rabbit: You would need several layers of clothes though, this is not balmy Virginia! ;-) Thanks for your comment Rabbit! vu@granby - Wolfgang MaryB from Staffordshire, United KingdomSo you were out there too Wolfgang :) 26 Feb 2009 11:47pm @MaryB: There were 7 of us wild enough to bring our cameras out in a blizzard with a wind chill factor of -23º C..... vu@granby - Wolfgang Johanne Prescoot from granby, CanadaWow, superbe belle photo en pleine action. Bravo!! 26 Feb 2009 11:57pm @Johanne Prescoot: Merci Johanne! vu@granby - Wolfgang Steve Rice from Olympia, United StatesGreat mood and action in this image. I'm not saying that person is a nut for doing that in a blizzard. Yes, I am. 27 Feb 2009 12:05am @Steve Rice: And we were nuts to bring out our cameras and risc frostbite.... ;-) Thanks for your comment, vu@granby - Wolfgang Fliss from Melbourne Beach, United StatesExcellent work... I still think this looks like it is SO cold... I am sure that I wouldn't be able to do this... I would end up around a tree.. 27 Feb 2009 12:29am @Fliss: I would probably end up with my face being dragged on the ice.... ;-) Thanks for stopping by, vu@granby - Wolfgang chandan from bangalore, IndiaNice portrait.....shows that the will of a person is stronger then the bizzard.... :) 27 Feb 2009 2:48am @chandan: You are so right! Thanks for the comment, vu@granby - Wolfgang Viewfinder from Bradenton, FL, United StatesDefinitely a winter sport you wouldn't find anywhere in Florida. Great photo! 27 Feb 2009 3:04am @Viewfinder: Well, you have sailboarders, don't you? Ice and snow are just water in a little harder form... ;-) Thanks for your visit, vu@granby - Wolfgang JJ from Jersey City, United StatesGreat action shot, wonderful vivid yellows and reds, looks like a exhilarating thing to do 27 Feb 2009 3:06am @JJ: My fingers and face were more numb than exhilarated though! Thank you for your comment JJ, vu@granby - Wolfgang @Laurie: There are several meanings of "cool" Laurie, but the weather was more cold than cool... ;-) Thanks for the comment, vu@granby - Wolfgang vu@granby - gilles daigneault from Granby, Québec, CanadaBravo Wolfgang,
Merci Gilles! Et encore bravo à Alain pour l'organisation de cette sortie des braves! vu@granby - Wolfgang 27 Feb 2009 4:29am Laurent from Lyon, Franceextra cette photo; ou plutôt la réunion des deux photos. 27 Feb 2009 5:17am @Laurent: Merci Laurent! C'était très agréable de sortir en groupe, malgré le vent froid! On dit bien "Deux têtes valent mieux qu'un", mais là nous étions 7, alors c'est encore meilleur! vu@granby - Wolfgang Anna.C from LA ROCHELLE, Francej'adore le titre ! la voile jaune tranche bien dans ce blizzard, tu l'as pris en bonne position ! ah, j'avais des conditions plus confortables ;-) 27 Feb 2009 1:46pm @Anna.C: Oui, c'est bien vrai..... :-) Par contre nous étions 7 de notre groupe, alors il y avait de la chaleur humaine quand même! Tu sais, dans notre "parlure québecoise", quand il fais très froid nous dison "frette", et samedi dernièr il faisait très frette! Merci pour la visite, vu@granby - Wolfgang Cricket-Tammy from United StatesOh goodness. I thought I commented on this yesterday. It must have been during the time my dog was nudging me for a walk. I just love the yellow in this image. You know me..the brighter the better. I cannot help but mention how cold this looks to me. I mean really cold. I am freezing in an indoor hockey rink. Thank you so much for sharing the images. I have a MAC that seem to be overloaded at the office. Once I got home I had no problem viewing them at home. You got some amazing shots. Our last game is tomorrow morning.....5:30 AM! We have the early game. UGH. 27 Feb 2009 4:52pm @Cricket-Tammy: The life of a hockey mom...... :-) Thanks for your comment, vu@granby - Wolfgang akarui from Kagoshima, JapanSuperbe cette photo. La voile en couleur et le sportif en rouge au milieu du blizzard c'est grandiose. Appuyer sur les boutons de reglage de l'appareil photo ne doit pas etre evident par ce froid... 28 Feb 2009 3:21am @akarui: Merci Olivier pour le commentaire !
Markela from Athens, GreeceWhat an amazing action shot, Wolfgang! I really like how the color of the sail stands out in the mayhem of the snow storm....Nicely captured! 2 Mar 2009 8:03pm @Markela: Σας ευχαριστούμε πάρα πολύ Markela! vu@granby - Wolfgang |
