From sleet and hail
From a totally different trip to Porvoo as the other night shot in the stream (www.flickr.com/photos/naggobot/8174561179/). This is actually from a different winter. Special thanks to the friend who made the trip happen. Weather was far from good, it was raining snow and in addition the wind was also significant. I would not have gone out at all if it was only up to me alone.
As it is the extremish weather rewarded both of us with some nice shots. I took only three different sets of exposures until I was freezing. This is from the first set and by far the best. At least I belive so since I have not processed others yet.
Strange bokeh effect is caused by the snow on the camera lens. In reality all exposures were orange due to the lights but I decided to fake most of the image to the cooler blue instead of orange. The bridge I left warm orange and I did four different versions of the fade out to the cool blue until I settled for this.

Three exposure HDR tonemapped with Luminance HDR 2.0.2 Mantiuk06 Contrast equalization. Exposures were shot tripod mounted at ISO100 with -2,0,2 EV bracketing.
Subsequent editing with Gimp and G'Mic in total 14 layers.
