The Snow and Blues



I took advantage of the horrible snowfall and unbelievably treacherous icy tracks to go out on a photo walk. Most of them ended painfully but the photos were definitely worth the bruises :). I never particularly believed that the "blue-ness" portrayed in photographs of snows were real. I always believed they were somehow edited to seem that way but after having this winter to do my own snow photos I realised that the blue hues were very much enunciated in winter (or at least they were easy to enunciate with very little editing LOL)

Taken on the ice - moments after, fell on my sorry, cold ass but I think it was a good take nonetheless. I wanted to increase the contrast and sharpness of this photo slighly more but I didn't want it to look over done. I am also aware that the photo looks quite different on a desktop computer so I decided to make more subtle editing instead.




This is just one of those weird structures outside the place which I live. I was hoping to show the contrast between the post-modernist structure and the trees at the back. Obviously did not come out well mainly because both the trees and the structure are parallel to each other.

All about textures this one. What can I say?


 One of those weird plants. Slightly overedited as those of you with photoscape might notice. :{/

I like all of them. My fav would be the first one and the last one may be strong but it's attractive
