Winter mists

Taken last winter not 100 meters from our home. My wife noticed these beautiful mists early in the morning and I literally ran outside to take 3 or 4 photos.

Follow the track

One from the winter time, when we took a walk on Krvavec, where is also a very popular ski resort, closest one to our capital Ljubljana. This is a track of snowcat, taken widely from a close range. Very high contrast is also added.

Snow shoveller

A photo of my brother, taken this winter while he was shovelling snow. He looks to me like some Afghan tribesman. Taken on film.

Frequent flyer

This is Gregor, catching some air on a recent ski trip to Austria (the same trip this photo was taken). This wasn't the easiest of photographs to take. First off, I only had 3 shots left on the roll of film (Fujifilm's Sensia Dia/Slide film), and I had forgotten spare rolls in my car, back in Ljubljana. Besides this, these conditions are not easy to photograph - shooting into the sun with shadows in the foreground and on the main subject isn't easy, especially with the simpler light reader in my old EOS 10s. I metered off the shadowy snow in the foreground and hoped for the best. Also, I had no clue where exactly Gregor was going to come over the hump, since I didn't see him until the last minute.

All in all, I got lucky that the metering was as good as could be, and that I caught him in time to be able to get a nice composition. Though it might look like a small jump here, it's actually quite high, especially if you're not ready for it.
