Oh, I love this. Looking at it relaxes me. Snow is notoriously difficult to photograph, Dynamax. I think you did incredibly well.

Thank you Kjeld. I'm glad that you like it 
I was lucky to catch such beautiful weather and such clear and shiny snow.
On original photo snow looks a little "pale". So, I made few little corrections. Just a little

During the age of film, exposure during printing was a very important part of creating the image. During our digital age, it is what you do with your image after you have shot it, like you did. of course, in case of journalism, you have to take care you don't change the scene that you saw with your eyes. Even though this is not a journalistic image, I believe that you didn't do that.
I think you did a great job.

to Kjeld : Thanks.  I have experienced a work with analog camera before I took a digital version.
If I make some mistakes when I take the photo, lately I try to correct a little some of them. To see on it what I've seen with my own eyes. Cause a digital version can bring a more freedom with image.
Journalism I suppose needs a very "fast" work with photographs .

Digital photography is great with that. Adjustments that were previously made in the darkroom can now be made in front of the computer. Not all journalistic work requires speed, thank fully. But when I shoot disasters like the Indodesian Tsunami of 2004 and the Pakistan Earthquake of 2005, speed is of the essence. Yesterday's photos are not used by the media anymore...

to Kjeld: Yes. Photography made a long way to it's present state.From wooden boxes to hi-tech digital devices.
Somehow I know that many journalists use some devices to bring fresh photographs "in time" via Internet. Like chain reaction - "take-send-print". Almost from every corner of the planet.

When I first started as a photo-journalist I only had to carry my camera, a few lenses, film and a few spare batteries. It all fit easily in my backpack and left lots of room for clothes, food and the occasional book. Now I carry all that AND a computer, a satellite modem and a bag full of cables and adaptors for electrical plugs. Sometimes even a solar panel so that I have electricity no matter where I go. I need a bag just for my equipment...

to Kjeld : Oh. It can't be helped if it's all needed for work. All that stuff But I hope it's worth to carry such many things.
In my case, usually I care only about my camera, lenses and battery. It's all can be stored in "old-fashioned" camera bag. :D

Of course I don't always carry all that. Only when I cover disasters. In Japan I am usually OK with just my cameras and lenses and do the rest back at home or my hotel. Sometimes for really time-sensitive stories I use my mobile phone to connect my computer to the internet on the road. I had to become a bit of a tech freak to get my work done.

to Kjeld: Oh, I understand. It's all depends on work. "Regular" work don't need so much equipment, it needs only when you travel somewhere far from your home. Suppose that the "mobility" is the key word in this case.
"Tech freak" I've always was interested in tech news...What "they" can invent again to surprise people

Yes, technology is amazing sometimes. When I am in the middle of nowhere, with no electricity and no phone connections, sending my digital photos to a newspaper by satellite connection I always feel like I am in a Science Fiction movie.
