Time for another minimalist image, I think. This shows one of the flags near the base of the mountain at Steamboat where the ski school meets. Levels 7 and 8 are the most advanced lessons (I was in a level 6 class) and I guess they don’t get too many people interested in lessons at that level since they only have a single meeting place for both levels.
As far as this image goes, I was drawn to the contrasting blues in the flag and the sky. I underexposed deliberately to enhance the effect.
Looking at this again, I notice some hideous banding in the sky. I guess I overcompressed the image during export so please forgive me. Unfortunately, the photo management software I’m using on this blog doesn’t let me replace an existing image (though I suppose I could delete the post and do the whole thing again, leaving anyone looking at the RSS feed with a 404 error if they try to click through…)
