How a camera could render that processed light without its looking darkroom-manipulated is what I found myself wondering. Maybe Ansel Adam's methods of getting that John B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06358811061653958120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7640521.post-1165490668969057602006-12-07T05:24:00.000-06:002006-12-07T05:24:00.000-06:00I can so relate to your humbleness in the eye of b...I can so relate to your humbleness in the eye of beauty, the kind that fills the heart. Maybe someone will share some references to literature here depicting the rapture of a winter night. John Muir could have written something, but I have not found it. I'm glad you wrote the post.

You would probably have to do a lot of processing to really tweak your image. <BR/><BR/>Friday, did you see the moon and how intense it was? I tried getting even that silvery light with my camera and failed miserably.Paul D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00535027161567978343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7640521.post-1165254340134707772006-12-04T11:45:00.000-06:002006-12-04T11:45:00.000-06:00I also think I know what you're trying to get acro...I also think I know what you're trying to get across. There's something very elusive about this kind of beautiful, snowy night - which is maybe why I haven't had the guts to try and describe them when they have "happened" to me in the past. You do a very good job.<BR/><BR/>(I like the bit about being inside a cappuccino.)AJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16135729997685992811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7640521.post-1165230980164236742006-12-04T05:16:00.000-06:002006-12-04T05:16:00.000-06:00I think I understand what you mean.

You swear you can see things that you can't see during the day. I always wondered if the light reflecting off the snow illuminates things not normally visible.<BR/><BR/>The post was beautiful.
