the white stuff... by northy

the white stuff...

call out the army - Toronto has SNOW!!!!

kind of a lame shot, but i've been busy pretending i know how to do Christmas today, and nothing else appealed... the white on the right is actually mostly light trails from cars m-o-v-i-n-g-v-e-r-y-s-l-o-w-l-y in the few inches of snow we received...

thanks all so very very much for the great response to my "inception" shot from yesterday :)
Is that a tree reaching across the road?Lovely night shot.Mysterious.

@mzzhope tx Hope... yeah... one day i need to get someone to spot me and then i'll take a night shot from the middle of the street... lots of trees reaching across the road :)

that all? how come we got so much here? not fair! i was going to hit the beaches for some virgin snow drifts, but it was hard to walk with my new snow boots, they're heavier than the whole world's problems, for heaven's sake! and partner is away. but tomorrow morning, i'll hit them snow trails!
December 15th, 2013  
oh, sorry! fabulous starbursts and is that a puny little tree on the right? that big tree looks eerie though!
December 15th, 2013  
@summerfield how much did you get? i don't think we got more than 4 or 5 inches, but it's hard to tell... i'm hoping to get some early morning shooting in tomorrow, but have a hellish day of hockey and stuff and not sure i'll be able to manage it...

Simply stunning night snowy scene! Wonderful light flare (or whatever the correct terminology is!). Fav!

The best advice I ever received (re Chrismas) was just to forget it was December. (I think she said "imagine it's any other month"). That was about 15 years ago, and I've followed it "religiously" ever since ;)

Looks about the same as what we got here. Nice wintery shot (even though it officially starts next Saturday).
December 15th, 2013  
The starbursts are great. Like the scene a lot. Looks so much cleaner than the snow scenes here.

Really like this. Are you in a bike lane or does the sidewalk have that separation? Love how the snow accentuates the lights and darks.
December 15th, 2013  
Cool light flares. f/18 I see, just about right for my lenses too.
December 15th, 2013  
@archaeofrog tx Katie... that's the sidewalk, and then there's a big strip of land/grass/trees between the sidewalk and the road...
December 15th, 2013  
@northy Gotcha. We only have that style of curb when they try to keep apart the cars and the bike lane.
December 15th, 2013  
looks cold!
December 15th, 2013  
Eery, very cool!
December 15th, 2013  
Great b&w
December 15th, 2013  
Great light-trails and light-bursts. Nice POV looking down the pathway like that. I'd be terrible if I lived with snow. I'd have to migrate to the warmth every Winter!
December 15th, 2013  
cool b&w! really like the lighttrails!!
December 15th, 2013  
Awesome B&W.
December 15th, 2013  
superb contrast and gorgeous flares! amazing shot!
December 15th, 2013  
Love the starbursts - great in b&w
December 15th, 2013  
Works really well in B&W - great leading lines.
December 15th, 2013  
Amazing contrasts... so dramatic, yet so soothing as well. x
December 15th, 2013  
Fab light and contrast
December 15th, 2013  
Wonderful light and lines.
December 16th, 2013  
Interesting and intriguing, draws you in.
December 16th, 2013  
Den
Great lines
December 16th, 2013  
Very still shot - get that much snow in the UK and the whole country would grind to a halt
December 16th, 2013  
Great lines. Love the starburst lights.
December 16th, 2013  
Want some snow too! :( Fantastic shot by the way! :)
December 16th, 2013  
Wonderful light xx
December 16th, 2013  
love the starry lightbursts and the contrast. beautiful.
December 17th, 2013  
white stuff that conveys so much darkness, only you north girl!
December 17th, 2013  
A very film noir quality to the result. ;-) Has there ever been a noir film placed in a wintry climate?
December 17th, 2013  
@bankmann there must be... Northern climes just scream out for film noir!
December 18th, 2013  
@northy love this shot well done...
