A really neat shot here IMO. It took me a while to figure out what exactly i was looking at but I think that's why I like it. The abstrac quality of this is great and a huge plus for the shot. The contrasting red/white/gray is a great addition and the semi "pattern" in the shot is a great touch also.
Interesting shot,Chunk. Kept me looking quite a while. I think you spotted this scene well, as you usually find these interesting pattern observations. Also, well executed.
Agreed, the eye for patterns is there and I think that you have been very creative to spot this. Paricularly like the fact that one part of the snow fades to the right of the shot while the lower section of snow increases in volume, nice contrasts.
Thanks Herriot. It's kinda fun to think about the physics that were involved in producing this scene as the shadow of a gable roof to the right (east) of the scene slowly moved to warm the roof and produce the differing amounts of snow.
Very abstract. I like it but not sure about the strange snow patch at the right.
Whatever lens you're using, it's nice. You have virtually no distortion at all here! I have so much distortion on my lenses it's disgusting.... and they're Tamron and Nikons too.
Thanks GB. The lens on my Panasonic point and shoot is a Leica DC Vario-Elmarit Lens that is an f=6.0-72mm (35mm equivalent: 36-432mm) with 13 Elements in 8 Groups (3 Aspherical Lenses/3 Aspherical Surfaces, 1 ED Lens). That's from Panasonic's spec sheet on their web site.
I'm very happy with it, espicially since the camera's image stabilization allows even shaky me to hand hold the camera, even when zoomed in. The 12x optical zoom is terrific. This shot was taken at a focal length of 63.2 (35mm Equiv: 379) and was handheld at f/8 1/800 ISO80
Chunk, I like this a lot. The shape of the snow and the various patterns are neat. The snow appears to be very well exposed as well. I just wish the colors were a bit brighter and flashier (which I think could be achieved with a contrast mask and a boost of colors saturation).
I like how the bottem half has a well defined pattern (the squares), contrasts with the less defined pattern on the top half, imo it makes the picture.

I've been racking my brains to try to remember who the early stop motion photographer was, who photographed animals in motion using tripwires to trigger the cameras.
But gooooogle and I are coming up blank - you can't use a search engine if you don't know what you're searchig for !
I know what I'l looking for. Black & white images of horses in motion, against a neutral grey tome background, with multiple images printed next to each other showing the stages of the motion.

Sebastion already gave you your answer, but another pioneer in motion study was Harold Edgerton during his development of the electronic flash. He did some wonderful stopmotion photography.
Yes, but rather deep down in that thread
I just bought the National Geographic book of Photography and found Eadweard Muybridge, Thomas Eakins, Etienne-Jules Marey and Ottomar Anschutz in the very last section.
