One Week Till Summer
With only one week to go until Summer, this was certainly a shock. We let the kids have the day off school today and went to Mt Selwyn snow fields. About a two hour drive away. My daughter who is 14 hadn’t seen snow since she was 3 and didn’t remember it, and my 9 year old son had never seen snow before. The kids were so excited. LOL.

Great work for your first snow shots !!

Thank you Colin. Some were a bit blown out and others were a bit dark, but mostly they turned out OK.
Bev Woodman
No wonder we shivered last weekend. This is a beautiful image Sharon.
SharonD replied
Hi Bev,thanks so much.
Pat Lucas
What a wonderful photo Sharon!! It really does seem strange to think that your children hardly get to see snow. lol
SharonD replied
Hi Plukie,thank you.There’s not much of Australia that has snow.The nearest to us is about a two hour drive away.
Maximus
I do not like this cold snap & thereby refuse to snap any resemblance of it. But you’ve done well. :)
SharonD replied
LOL, Maximus, I don’t like the cold either.It was actually a quite warm day. We had T-shirts on. LOL.
Jan Stead JEMp...
What a stunning shot Sharon!!!! I know this part of the world so well, as we lived in Tumbarumba for some years and often took the half hour trip up the mountain to Selwyn, and beyond.
This really has been freakish and amazing weather, hasn’t it? Your kids are fortunate indeed that you let them have the day off school to witness this first hand. This time your daughter won’t forget seeing snow!!
And I suspect this will also be a fond childhood memory in years to come for your son as well.
Thank you for also letting us share in it too with your awesome shot. Hope you didn’t get too cool capturing its beauty for us!
Oh, btw, have you thought of ‘Skyscapes”:http://www.redbubble.com/skyscapes ?

SharonD replied
Hello Jan,it’s beautiful countryside from Tumut onwards.We had a great day. It was quite warm, we wore T-shirts.We’re thinking of going back that way just to take photos etc.

When shooing snow scens, allow for extra exposure, if they are too dark then can be lightened byusig gamma correction in any poto editing proramee !
SharonD replied
Thanks a lot Colin. I don’t think I’ve come across that. I’ll have a look. I have Adobe elements 4.
Claire Farley
Nice view Sharon!!!!. The seasons certainly are changing. I remember the first and only time my boys ever got to see snow
SharonD replied
Hi Claire,thank you. It certainly is strange weather.
Jenny Brice
A lovely photo, Sharon. I like the contrast of the snow against the blue, summery sky.
SharonD replied
Hi Jenny, thanks heaps.The blue sky certainly helps. I took some pics facing the other way where the sky was grey and they don’t look half as good.
