This is the moment I photographed back on 30th January when my husband and son skied together back at our beloved Hollersbach to Kitzbühel mountain range in Austria for the first time in 4 years since my husband had a serious accident there skiing.
@monikozi I didn't apply a filter to the photo when I took it. I find pulling shadows right off and increasing brightness works well on mountain snow, so that is all I did with it. Sometimes the simple things work the best, eh? Thank you for being encouraging :)
@casablanca I also remembered the photo and am so impressed with how accurately you have painted it! Excellent ! I think @monikozi was refering to this photo of your painting that is so well done that it looks like a filtered version of the original!
@grammyn I traced the outlines of the boys and rough mountain shapes by putting the photo on my iPad and having a bit of hit and miss fun trying to trace it holding tracing paper on the screen! Bit mad but it gave me the proportions helpfully.
Wow, filtered version of the photo?? Nooo. Not that good! But a very kind compliment, thank you!
@casablanca Casablanca, of course I meant exactly what Katy @grammyn described. I've seen around here some 'painting' effects applied to photos and I remembered your reference photo and thought you have applied one of those effects to your shot. But instead it was a real painting. And a truly good one!
