K-x: a few winter pictures from Hemsedal, Norway (5 imgs)

Beautifully shots. Remembers me of winter when I was living in Canada.

I think the first two need a bit of WB adjustments for light blue cast ( unless this was intended). This is quite common taking pictures of snow ( the trick is to use Shade preset to avoid this).

What beautiful shots Koka! They remind me very much of the winter in Northern Ontario when I spent a lot of time snow-shoeing and winter camping in my youth! Mind you the biggest difference would be big hills in Ontario as opposed to the huge mountains of Norway! ;-)

The first shot is my favourite followed very closely by the third capture of the cozy cabin nearly buried in snow! I spent a few wonderful nights (-30 F) in such a shelter one very cold winter north of North Bay Ontario.
Many thanks for the fine work you have posted and the memories!

Best regards
Leo

I often use a shade preset when taking pictures of sunset / sunrise. In the daylight it is generally a bit too warm.

But you are right - I struggle with the WB in winter a bit. I think these images were shot with the "daylight" setting, as the AWB of K-x was too warm, and corrected by a few hundred degrees up during the conversion. The "auto" option in ACR produced a way too warm images, and "daylight" - a way too cold (colder than "as shot" option). I may try to get these images a bit warmer...

Thanks for your comments,
and take care
 
All are very beautiful but the first, to me, is simply luminous and my favourite. Thanks for sharing. I like the colour processing.

Cheers!

Thanks Leo, I am very happy that these captures got at least something of that natural beauty out there.

Take care
 
I like all of your shots. The picture of the cabin especially stirs my memories.
 
I really like all of your pictures ! Nice work and nice weather !
What lens were you using ?
Thanks for posting,
K.
 
Very, very nice! Actually, outstanding. I wouldn't change a thing.

I can actually feel the cold, (but then I just came in from shoveling snow). :-)

Thanks for sharing.
 
Beautiful pictures! And here I was wondering if I should take my new K-x out to play when it's only -7ºC, here.

Thank you folks for your appreciation and comments. I have made some corrections to #1 (horizon, WB), #3 (WB) and #4 (horizon, WB) for the shots in the gallery.
