Into the wind, a photo from Quebec, Central

Photographer's Note

Taken at l'Isle-aux-Coudre again, since we had missed the boat to get back on the shore we had spare time to take a few landscape pictures. A little bit windy that day, like often in this area, but here with a little help of the wide angle distortion, I like the wind effect on the trees to the right.....enjoy !

Pierre this is a very nice landscape. The good contrast of the white snow and the blue sky are enhanced by the wind effect on the trees. The picture is very nice and the simple scene capture here is eyecatching. Good work.

Beautiful work, Pierre! I love the cols tonality and graphic impact of these bare, windswept trees. Very nice to see your pics again!
Have a fine weekend,
Bert

Hi Pierre,

Lovely panorama view with a good contrast of the white snow and the blue sky are enhanced by the wind effect on the trees. I hope that in Belgium come the spring time, next week more than 15 degrees Celsius. TFS.

Have a nice weekend,
John.

Hi Pierre,
Well composed with the wind much in evidence with the leaning poplars on the right and the billowing clouds that enhance the sky. I like the smidge of roadway in the foreground here. The overally quality of the shot is impressive. It looks like it was an exhilarating winter's day. Amities.

Hola Pierre.
A great winter scene with a good composition, you captured here the real view of Quebec's cold season, the temperature most be below 0.
Interesting the way you got the effect on the trees due to the high wind.
Well done. TFS.
Regards.

Hi Pierre. You know at first I was thinking that I'd prefer to have the perspective fixed but on second thought I think it's effective how you have the trees "pointing the way". With the good sky it made the most sense to include so much of it into your frame. Well done Pierre.

Bonjour, mon ami Pierre,
Une trиs belle reprйsentation hivernale de l'Isle-aux-Coudre, l'on sent bien а travers cette prise de vue le froid qui rиgne, les arbres sont joliment mis en lumiиre et se dйtachent а merveille sur ce fond de ciel aux merveilleux nuages.
Amitiйs.
Joyeuses Pвques, mon ami.
Philippe

Salut, Pierre.
J'avais rate ce petit bijou de bleu de de blanc. C'est juste glacial comme athmosphere, et c'est parfaitement reussi. La distorsion est un peu exageree a mon gout, mais c'est du domaine du detail, et on peut voir aussi le fait qu'elle contribue a dynamiser l'image...
Merci du partage!
