Not snow by maggiemae

Not snow

Playing with my camera’s settings I chose something called high contrast mono and used the scene across the road from our home to concentrate on.

Three good things:
1. An apartment we have had for 15 years and been a bad investment having been defrauded by a well known company has now been sold! A loss but still have got it off our hands. We are celebrating!
2. John deleted his operating system on his computer by mistake and instead of swearing and throwing his hands up, he got on the phone and solved the problem!
3. Watching tennis when its raining and cold outside.
I like your experiment. It really does look like snow.

It makes it look like a winter wonderland in the middle of summer! And a good riddance to the bad investment

Waaaw ! you could have fooled me -- it does look so wintery !!

My first reaction when I saw this, before I saw the title, was, "Where did you find that snow in NZ in summer?" Great imitation snow scene!

A very effective high mono photo Maggiemae......virtual snow in mid summer! You win some, you lose some re house investment!

@happypat As this apartment was in Auckland Pat, it should have been a good investment but an adjacent building in the same complex had leaky home syndrome and structural defects so the whole complex suffers.

Certainly does look like snow...rain or snow makes for a good day inside watching tennis! Congrats on the apt sell!

@grammyn @phil_howcroft This is just a practice - I'm aiming for something similar but a different subject!

@lesip I'm really suprised I didn't hear any swearing going on, Leslie!

Well it certainly looks like snow. Nicely processed and good to have a play.

Icy atmosphere! Can't think when one would use this effect, but it's good to experiment.

Beautiful shot and processing. It does look like snow.

Maybe because it's winter here, I think this looks like snow- or maybe I have cabin fever. Nice processing!

Cool capture! I should have checked if I have the same function in my camera :-) thanks for sharing your three good things!

I love exploring with such settings and seeing the result. Something fun in having no control. ;-)

@stray_shooter Fun finding out, but the difficulty is knowing when to stop, Ron!

Before I read your comments I thought what are they doing with snow in NZ! Very good experiment
January 30th, 2016
