Midnight Stroll

Orio · Joined: 24 Feb 2007 Posts: 12895 Location: West Emilia

One of the advantages of living in a small town is that you can get out at any time of the day and still feel safe even with a 5D + Distagon 1.4/35 at your neck.
So when I saw it was snowing, that's what I did - and went out for a stroll in the park even if it was past midnight. Only precaution, when you are wearing thick hats, and on the fresh snow, it is very easy for someone to approach you silently behind your shoulders - shoes on fresh snow make little to no sound- so every 30 seconds or so I turned around to verify that the way behind me was clear.

I took only the Distagon as with a 35mm like this one, I can do nearly everything. I meant to shoot for B&W, but a few shots turned out nice in colours, too, so I also add a smaller page with a vew colour ones:

Shooting during snowfall is a lot of fun

Nice shots! Loving night shots I must try the Distagon 35/1.4 and the 5D, too! Smile

Although, I really like warm lamp light in snowy scenes, I also prefer your b&w shots.
You did a great job converting these pics.

My favs are 8, 11, 19 and esp. 12 - great composition!!

Me too, luv the BW pics. The sidewalk scene with the street lights really
stands out as my favorite, but I haven't looked at all of these.

Nice work, Orio!

Wow this is a nice scene. It just looks so tranquil. My favorite is number 10. Of course who can resist a scene like this snow together with water at night. I am envious Orio. If I go outside right now the wind would knock me over and the rain would soak me. We have wild weather on the west coast right now. The silence of snow looks much nicer.

These capture a certain essence of the evening. I FEEL the tranquility and silencing aspect of the snow, especially in the fine rendering of the black and white images.

The lens shows, even in this limited web presence, that it has the "touch" that you are expounding, Orio!

I am actually rather astounded with the quality here.

Oh yes we see those storms also. This year however just rain, wind and rain. The house is shaking so bad from the wind that both of the dogs are hiding behind the sofa. It would be kind of funny if they were not actually so scared. Laughing

actually it is still funny at least to look at. We have one big black lab and one chihuahua. Both are behind the couch with just there tails sticking out Laughing
