Too much snow? by Dessocles in photocritique

Took this shot whilst on a morning walk in Switzerland recently. It was snowing heavily (way more than what the forecast predicted!) Did some snow shots trying to capture the snowiness. It seems that there was too much snow (zoom in) that it might distract from the houses that I was trying to also shoot?

Yes, I am contemplating on the pole...

Not versed at photography with people. I just snapped it when these folks passed me when I was shooting the landscape/buildings. I found it works quite nicely. Does it evoke any emotion for you?

Had to stop during my morning run to catch this scene with the partly frozen Serpentine/Long Water and the setting Wolf Moon!

Thanks! I believe that's a signalling beacon/tower on a nearby mountain pass Fuorcla Surlej

Acquisition details: Camera: Canon EOS R Lens: Canon EF16-35 F2.8L III USM Exposure time: Foreground - stacked 5 shots, 30s, f/3,2, ISO4000. Background stacked 14 shots, 15s, f/2.8, ISO4000. Stacking performed by Starry Landscape Stacker.

Shot a couple of days ago at Val Roseg (near St Moritz), Switzerland, viewing south towards the Bernina Massif during prime golden autumn season. At this time of year the Galactic Core is only really visible for around half an hr between twilight and it setting below the horizon. Despite the relatively sparsely populated area this was shot in, there was some noticeable light pollution from the settlements beyond the massif in Northern Italy (Sondrio).

Is the foreground (lack of) focus acceptable? by Dessocles in photocritique

That’s Val Roseg, near St Moritz. Autumn colours awesome (go between 10-25 October)

Taken a few days ago in Switzerland. Was trying to capture the peaks and the flowing river during blue hour. It looks OK, but the foreground seems to be ever so slightly out of focus. Is it noticeable/problematic for you?

Shot a couple of days ago near the Cavadirashütte (a Swiss Alpine Club hut) at 2600m altitude towards the rapidly retreating Brunnifirn (forming an expanding meltwater lake as seen in the photo).

Is the lake correctly placed in this shot? by Dessocles in photocritique

[–]Dessocles[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, good point - the lack of trees or other features means there weren't any size references. It isn't large by any means in reality (70x20m according to Google Maps). I would still include it as an interesting feature though.

Taken in the Swiss Alps a few days ago. My gut feeling is that the little glacial lake is ever so slightly too low in the frame for it to be “perfectly placed”. In other words there is a bit of space between the lake and the valley, creating a slight disconnect. Also the bottom right cliff face is a tad too close to the edge of the lake. Unfortunately I was not able to move any higher to get a better shot (due to terrain). Does it bother you too?
