Hi!
DT> I shouldn�t, because I haven�t had time to look at your photos, but....
I'd say you should. You know, if privilege of putting a shot to PAW would depend on how many other's shots one looked at and commented, then we'd be in big trouble...
OK, it�s just me...

I really wonder how it would look if shot with proper b/w film. You know, with little effort, really little, almost no effort at all, I can see all of the boundary of that pile of snow on the table. What a wonderful exposure.
Thanks! I think I could have done the same thing with b/w, but taking a bit more time. I was thinking the same that I do in the darkroom, pushing the highlights as far as I dare towards the light and adjusting the contrast to let the darkest part be almost black. As long as the contrast in the light parts of the picture is not too high the *istD performs nicely in snow.
Pity, in this country of eternal warmth, such thing is virtually impossible to try...
Well, I was wondering why I didn�t join my brother in Malaysia when I tried to make a path for my parents to get into their house or to get my car out of the snow, but you�re right, it is pretty and soft and the kids love it. What I didn�t realize was that this picture is more abstract in your part of the world than it is in mine :-)
Tanks!
