A Snowfall?
Nov 7, 2019 17:19:27 #
I was going through some images that I had scanned into my computer from slides I had taken while on a trip through Germany and Switzerland back in 1985. They were obtained using an F-series Canon SLR and scanned using a Minolta Dimage Film Strip and Slide scanner. One shot caught my attention because it captured something I have not seen anywhere else. I don't even what to call it. Does anyone have a suggestion?

That’s a neat shot. At first I wasn’t sure of the scale, then I saw the trees at the bottom!

It seems that the top of the mountain is in direct sunlight and is melting snow resulting in the water flow down the mountain while the side of the mountain you are capturing is in the shadow of the mountain keeping the snow from melting. A very unusual image and rather dramatic. Very good photo and detail that you where able to digitize.

Bill beat me to it. I'd call it "Snow Melt Runoff", and a cold one at that. Nice shot, for a Canon guy.

I note you have a Minolta DiMage Scan film/slide scanner. I have two of them -- one a Dual III AF- 2840 and the other the Elite 5400 which scans @ 5400 PPI. I have used these to scan my collection of about 7000 35mm slides and several thousand for friends. They do such a nice job that I have saved my old 24" iMac with the snow leopard OS just so I can still use the original Minolta software for scanning.

I scanned about 7000 35mm slides and negatives with mine. Unfortunately I didn't keep my old windows laptop as the Minolta software is not compatible with the newer systems.

I think "snowfall" captures what is going on--technically a small avalanche.
