Whiteness of the snow by susale

Whiteness of the snow

We got snow, finally!

Thank you so much for all of your wonderful & supportive comments & favs on my last pic and about the SAD, I really appreciate all of them and they made me feel so much better, thank you!

Obviously I have some catching up to do, so meet you here tonight or tomorrow.
That will certainly lighten the mood - really great high key shot

Gorgeous snow shot! So well presented... Glad you enjoy the snow...though it is so pretty in photographs I do not like the disruption it causes in day to day living. Fun to go to and play in it though. Hope you are feeling better. I would send you some warmth and sun if I could!!

Yay to snow... I think? Personally you're welcome to it, I want heat. You must get loads if there's so much already. we have lots of wind and rain... Love the overhanging branch

@ingrid2101Thank you Ingrid, snow is fun for a while and after all the rain and dakness it´s welcomed, Actually there´s really little snow, it´s just white background.

@eyesmile Thank you Gena, the heatness and sun would be so welcome so you you can think a way to send those here, I´d be really grateful :) I too hate the disruption it causes, especially on traffic and I absolutely hate the slippery roads but after the darkness I welcome the snow to lighten things a bit

This is lovely. The snow on the branches is beautiful. I'm with you re snow. If it's going to be cold and dark I'd at least like some snow in the mix.

glad to know you are feeling better my friend .. didnt know about SAD till now ...beautiful shot ..something calming about it ... really like it!!

Funny how much a bit of snow cheers you up ... I like the high-key vibe in this shot. I think I would've tried monochrome edit with this one though. Could look cool to go even more minimalistic with this idea...?
January 13th, 2014  
@janim Thanks :) I did try monochrome but it just looked too grey and I wanted something brighter and that green adds some of it here, for me at least. Mustavalkosella editillä tuli sellanen ankee olo, samanlainen ku mitä pikkasen lunta tekee jollekin tosi ränsistyneelle pihamaalle, tiet varmaan mitä tarkotan, sellanen Dingon "sataa ulkona lunta, se kaiken saa näyttämään vanhalta" -fiilis. Lumi piristää joo :)

This is beautiful..I would have loved to have seen some snow the last few days but it's cooled down a bit now.

Lovely high key capture,
January 13th, 2014  
Beautiful shot...the snow is well accentuated, & I love the little specks of green!

Snow, I don't know if I like that, but the photo is special
January 13th, 2014  
@susale yep totally getting what you mean.

Not sure how you do the monochrome conversion, but I like to use GIMP's "Decompose". It creates three monochrome versions of the shot, based on blues, reds and greens. Then you can just select the best version or mix them together however you want. It's pretty amazing how much you can have control over the image this way.

Ooh lovely pic - feels high-key with the snow.
January 13th, 2014  
@janim Okey....I must try it, if I can work out how it works...mun
pitäis haastaa ittteni ja kieltää kaikkien muitten käsittelyohjelmien käyttö, et tulis Gimppi viimeinkin tutuksi....täytyypä yrittää luoda seuraavaksi noita mustiksia siellä. Kiits :)
