Wintery Window
Trying to create a snowy and icy window is a bit tricky here, in the UK, where it's currently drizzling (again)! Frost effect is created by painting on a super-saturated solution of Epsom salts in water and letting it dry — it forms lovely crystalline forms very similar to actual frost. The snow is then bicarbonate of soda dusted on with a teaspoon! 3 separate shots are combined, a 'natural' only lit shot, then a candlelit shot and finally the LED light strand. LED lights are wonderfully cheap and adaptable but give a horrible green colour cast unless shot as a separate layer and heavily colour corrected.
