Photos in the cold with 50mm Summilux

[msendin]

Spain is not always warm. Here are some shots with the M8 at just beside home.

The first two are shot with the 24mm Elmarit and the rest with the 50mm Sum Asph.

Holy god-light batman!

The 24mm is incapable of flaring it seems. 🙂

I must say I especially like the composition and colours in #3 of the first set. I also quite like the detail (small bits of green poking through the ice) in #2 of the 2nd set.

Wow, those are nice. #3 and 5 are my favorites. You clearly know how to use the light to its best advantage.

Great shots, you nailed the exposure perfectly.

Nicely done - I like 2,4 and 5.

Very nice work. I especially like 2, 3, and 4.

Wow!!! To repeat past comments - exposure is spot on. 3&4 are my favorites.

Excellent exposure, composition and light. It is called hoarfrost. Happens with high humidity and freezing temperature.

Mi querida Sierra.

Thanks Chuckcars for the english word. I am used to see hoarfrost but dont even know the exact word in spanish. (The translation of hoarfrost in my dictionary doesnt convince me).
For me it is the equivalent of "horizontal rain" but in freezing conditions,
There where low clouds licking the crests of the mountains and it was very cold.
Whenever I see the mountains in winter like in this photograph (its north wind at home) I climb up there because its beautiful.
Regards

very awesome work there, I love the way you captured the light breaking through the trees, some fine photos indeed

Hi msendin, here you can see some of my icy fotos made in the same mountains, la Sierre de Guadarrama, in the Siete Picos (Seven Peaks).

Well abumac, dont tell me you have lived somewhere arround here!!!. I live just at the base of the mountains , near Navacerrada village. This is a small Sierra compared to many others but it is lovely, specially in winter. Thanks for your photos and if you return some day we could walk and shoot.

Hi, I am still living in Madrid. I know the Sierra very well. I just have published a book about Sierra de Guadarrama en Tren y Autobus en Desnivel.

Abumac, if you someday want to wander arround the Sierra with two M8 please e-mail me.
