Sorry Gordon, it was much better before, imo. Much of real life is dark.

#3 -just a touch or two lighter

#3 doesn’t provide quite enough information to make me ask questions. #2 tells me too much; no mystery. #1 is best-in-set.

Without doubt it’s Number 3 for me. Maybe 1 and 2 are technically better but I prefer 3 because the lighting isn’t the typical classic flash yawn look.

I really like the first one.

Number 1, although someone doesn´t like because of the light at the back… For me , it hides the face a little and I like it…

No question at all for me: Number 3.

I would title it something like:

LEE…#3 is right out of the camera…straight up….i used the pop up flash on the Nikon D800 and just put two fingers just over it to tone it down and the blood in my fingers warms it up a bit…this is a technique i use from time to time…the problem i had of course was that the store lights overpowered the natural light on Panos face…so it was either let it blow out , or do what i did, or some version of what i did by adding light to the subject and stopping down on the background

You don’t need me to tell you it froze hard last night, and it may be snowing a little in Winnemucca right now but it looks localized and not heavy on the radar. From there to the Utah state line you have roughly 50% chance of scattered light snow flurries for this morning, nothing to worry about. Along I-80 in NV beyond Battle Mountain, starting around Carlin and moving through Elko and beyond, there are a number of road construction projects where some lanes may be closed, speed reduced, flaggers out, etc. so be prepared for those. Great interactive road info site for Nevada here:

http://www.safetravelusa.com/nv/#
(Be sure to zoom in on the Elko area)

From Wendover on the NV-UT line to Salt Lake the temp now is above freezing and is forecast to reach the low 40s and you will definitely get some precip but it is likely to be rain through most of the day… but some of it may be light snow and there will be snow around Salt Like tonight. You’re not out of winter yet. Utah road conditions here:

http://www.commuterlink.utah.gov/CLALertViewer.aspx?CLType=2

and for more detail, here:

http://www.udottraffic.utah.gov/RoadWeatherForecast.aspx

For I-80 from the NV line to Salt Lake they are saying “Weather impact on travel- minimal” and ditto for the Salt Lake metro area.

As before, cast an occasional glance at the NWS radar sites for Elko:
http://radar.weather.gov/radar.php?rid=lrx&product=N0R&overlay=11101111&loop=no

And for Salt Lake:
http://radar.weather.gov/radar.php?rid=mtx&product=N0R&overlay=11101111&loop=no

As for heading south from Salt Lake, as of now things look pretty good for the Hiway 6 cutoff from Spanish Fork on I-15 over to Helper and Price and Green River… and Utah DOT says the road is dry and snow is not forecast, but I would check the Utah State DOT website again when you are near Provo before making that decision and I wouldn’t do it in the dark… it goes over a pass and also through a lot of canyon country… you don’t want to miss the spectacular scenery. Also keep in mind that the NWS radar is pretty good in populated areas and lowlands but does not reliably reflect high mountain conditions away from the main weather stations.

I hope this is helpful… don’t mean to be a nanny, so apologies if this is all redundant or overkill! Drive safely, stay warm… and have a blast!

Cheers,

#1 because I like it natural and also all the space around it.

DAH, thanks for sharing these shots. It is encouraging to see that at times we all go throughthe smae process. For me it’s hands-down #2

By: mtomalty

#2 would be the one for me
#3 is just a little too underlit for me. Would have been cool had Master P been lit
with a match while lighting his cigarette.
