Skidder Sunrise

I have been trying to shoot this skidder…for awhile..to get just the right timing….and again -40 below

a skidder is used for hauling trees away after they are cut in the forest..

let me know..if my monitor is calibrated correctly…I think i might be alittle off..

    Hi Heather! This is very beautiful too! But personally, I actually did love the darker one, there was something about it all because of the climate and everything. It had a beautiful glow! That’s how I feel. Your work is always so perfect, go with your instincts Heather!

    Excellent capture Heather! The lighting is just right. Brrr though,it must have been so cold taking this capture! The snow is so deep and that sky is amazing! I never would have thought a skidder could look so artistic but you made it look so awesome!

  • Thomas Whitchurch

    Thomas Whitchurch, 5 months ago

    The scene and lighting are beautiful, but the compostion seems a little off, in my eyes at least. The shot craves more space on the right hand side. I don’t know what actually would work, not having actually been there, but perhaps by getting in closer and taking a shot that was less “straight on”, or by not trying to get the whole vehicle in the image, and instead drawing more attention to the sun and trees, it could be improved.

    I hope you don’t mind criticism, if only to balance out the huge amount of (well earned) praise.
