Getting around in the snow.....

[mrchips]

Looked out the house/shop window this afternoon and what to my eyes should appear?????

Nope, no reindeer........but a sleigh and two ponys.

I love winter in Connecticut!!!

My horses pull too during the snow time, however, it's usually me they are pulling and acting the goat. The only drawback I have to this time of year is the nosebleeds that I get when I'm having to green break foals.

Around here are just snowmobiles and atvs.

Nice view, but no way could I live in the NE and endure the snow like you do. We average ~ 24" of snow per year; that's about 23" too much.

actually that first shot is composed very well ........ bring the lightness down a bit and increase color saturation a little and sell that shot ........... !

a family in a horse-drawn sleigh beats santa's sleigh hands down!

i'd give up a warm day in CA to see that for real.... it's picture postcard perfect!!!!

i think i like the original brighter version better.

it really is such a beautiful photo!
if you're going for a sell-able image... maybe you could edit out the power lines and pole, and extend the snow drift to cover the cars.

Winter can be fun till the snow is 6 in over your waste. That's what happened to us this weekend and still 3 ft more in the forecast. That's if the snow doesn't turn to rain. Up here all the roads are closed till Tuesday. It was fun when it was like the pictures though.

That is amazing. Beautiful photo. How do you guys work in that?

great minds think alike... I was going to make the same 2 suggestions...

but I have one more... rotate clockwise, about 1 degree

 

[BobM]

Did you carve that Joe? I'll bet you could.

And this is us in Africa at the moment. Hot hot hot. Excuse the quality of the pic. Was taken with my mobile.

Fatboy, what a great photo. it must be so cool having these critters near by

 

[mrchips]

Thanks everyone!!!

I looked at the rest of the shots I took......I think one of my legs is getting shorter.....hmmmmm. It was tough with the sun so low and behind the sleigh most of the time.....I tried a fill-flash but it didn't help much.

Here's a better one of the sleigh and yes we feel fortunate to live in such a beautiful place.

Note to self........ya gotta learn photoshop!!!!!
