SNOW WHEREVER I GO !!!
Just back from a very snowy Geneva. It was the perfect opportunity to test out my NEW 50mm f1.2 Canon prime lens’ weather sealing, completed with the customary UV filter. There will be another post which trials the lens itself (and that gorgeous bokeh!), but for now, it’s really the weather sealing that is being put through its paces!
In short, luckily it passed the test with considerable ease, and my new lens still works. The airport should take a lesson from Canon’s ability to deal with the elements! Full shots below.

HIGH ATOP THE SNOWY TREES…
I shot this whilst returning from a very recent ski expedition to the wonderful Val D’Isere, in the Savoie region of the French Alps. Aside from epic skiing, with practically nobody on the slopes, I was treated to this utterly silent and eerie mountain scene. Mystical descending fog mixed with freshly-dusted snowy Conifers made for a wonderfully textured canopy of trees. There was also a band of darkness towards the lower third of the shot, caused by the sharp fall-away in the relief of the land, which beautifully balanced the fog in the upper third. I absolutely love the alpine air, come sun OR snow, and I think this shot captures the magical solitude of the environment quite nicely indeed!
