| Waking up in the morning, what is more beautiful than seeing a fresh coat of snow lining the trees and branches? Not much!When nature paints the world with a white brush, the contrast between the white highlights of the snow and the darks of the branches creates a beautiful scene. For this reason, most of the time winter wonderland pictures look great in black and white, especially when lacking a blue sky. However, I decided to keep subtle hints of colour in most of these pictures, just tweaking the contrast somewhat.
Enjoy the Winter Wonderland! |
 Snow falls on the meadow and ducks in the river |
 The snow covered trees offer a temporary protective natural tunnel |
 The pathway from the opposite angle with a lot more contrast between the white snow and the dark branches |
 An HDR image composed with 5 images and merged together in PhotoMatix. I love the way the colours of the river bed stones pop, but the rest of the picture is a little artificial, especially the distinct white line between the sky and the trees. |
 Same image as the one on the left, except this time they five photos were merged in Photoshop and a much more conservative blending method |
Love the dramatic sky in this picture. The low camera angle also adds to the effect
