Falling snow by joansmor

Falling snow

I hope you aren't tired of this building. I caught it with the snow falling on Wednesday and you can even see that a flake got really close to my lens and blurred out. I probably should have removed it. But I was busy today and didn't get a picture. Did get my flu shot, had breakfast with a friend, helped two patience win at Bingo, did laundry, grocery shopping and played with this photo. Now I want to learn a little more about photographing without a flash in a historical home. Tomorrow promises to be fun.
Looks great like this, the tower looks like a face.

Wow amazing shot

@shepherdman Sorry but I can resist saying this as I was just looking at your picture - but no one had to flap their arms for me to get this picture. My bad.

A wonderful shot.

it is such a great building - this one looks like a snow dome that has been shaken

Amazing shot, Joan! Love it! FAV!

Gorgeous capture and fantastic processing in sepia tones. FAV.

What a neat building it looks like it has been taken out of a Storybook page.
Great capture Joan...

Great catch. This makes a wonderful photo. I would just clone, heal or something in PS or LR to fix that one spot.
November 29th, 2014  
Love the processing.
November 29th, 2014  
Stunning!!! The snow makes it magical indeed!! Lovely tones and love the snowflakes falling. FAV

Isn't this a pretty shot... wonderful details and sepia processing. A small smudge doesn't get in the way of this charming shot. :)

it's like you have your own full-size snow globe. +fav

@golder365mjsmith beat me to it, but it does look like a real life snow globe. Beautiful!

Very nice!

Beautiful capture!

Lovely scene especially is sepia!
November 30th, 2014  
Wonderfully done. It almost looks miniature. Love the processing. Fav.

It's the first time I've seen and I think it's a really interesting building! Great processing- the sepia fits the subject to a T. Did you use a tilt-shift effect on this- it looks like it's been shrunk somehow to me.

This looks so much like a toy, like a house in a snow dome! Super shot and processing. Fav
November 30th, 2014  
Really cool work here. Love the tones and the house. All that work on flash and now you're going the other way with no flash. Good luck!!

beautiful tones and snowfall ... fav

Lovely image

@olivetreeann No but it isn't a large building. Originally used for the ice skaters to change their skates. Now it is a visitors center. Deering Oaks is fabulous for photography see this http://www.deeringoaks.org/#!castle-in-the-park/c1yrz

@kt8ird Kate I don't have the ability to stay with one thing for a week let alone for longer. I will keep working on my flash just not daily. I love snow pictures. I haven't given up on it I just have ADD when it comes to photography. I admire your ability to stay with it.
November 30th, 2014  
this has a tilt shift look to it. it's a great shot!
November 30th, 2014  
@sissyaj No tilt shift. I did a duplicate layer changed to a reddish color with the bottom bw. Did a blend mode on the red, then combined the layers. made a new layer which I blurred. But a mask on that and brought back the building 100 % and maybe 80% on the foreground. More of things I have learned with my scrapbooking.
November 30th, 2014  
wow....you had a vision, and you made it happen in editing. I am just now starting to learn how to use PS, and would have no idea how or why you did the things you did. I will get there though:)
November 30th, 2014  
@joansmor I may be a little stubborn and avoiding photoshop learning, which I desperately need to do. I am afraid of getting sucked in and coming out!! I love following your project. I started scrapbooking when I had Sydney but now the girls have hijacked all of my supplies and tools so I moved to photography! :) Sounds like you have a fun and busy day planned, enjoy!!
November 30th, 2014  
@kt8ird You should try digital scrapping which is what I do. You combine photography with scrapbooking all on the computer. You can buy kits with papers and elements and the neatest thing is you can reuse every sheet as many times as you like as long as you make a copy to use rather than using the original.
November 30th, 2014  
@joansmor That sounds much better then having paper and scissors everywhere! Sydney is playing up (with 7th graders) in basketball and starts tomorrow. There goes my free time, again! At least I had this week!!

Fav!
November 30th, 2014  
So pretty! Love it ♥ . Like an inside of a snowglobe.
November 30th, 2014  
brilliantly captured the dof makes it really stand out in a fantasy type way - gorgeous
November 30th, 2014  
Fave! This looks like a miniature, set in a perfect miniature world.
November 30th, 2014  
Great building and a lovely shot Joan.
November 30th, 2014  
Great capture of this old house covered by snow.
November 30th, 2014
