A Feeling for Snow
Snowy woods.
This is a manual stack of seven images taken on my phone, blended together. All the images were of the same view, more or less (it was handheld out of the window of the stationary car).
We only have snow for about 2% of the year here these days so it was rather opportunistic shooting on the way back from an abandoned journey (also known as desperately trying to take something becore it melted :) ).
Sadly the individual pictures turned out to lack any useful composition so I thought I might just use them for a play. I was trying to get the feeling of walking through snowy woods...
I quite like the result, and the feeling it creates. The stack and the blur effectively created a multi-exposure ICM look but using processing. Still no compositional focus though: I guess we'll have to pay more for that filter :)
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image (but keep warm ;) )
[One-hand held phone out the window in snowy daylight.
Seven images stacked manually as layers blended with reduced opacity with various blend modes from Soft Light to Colour Dodge, anything that made the stack look more interesting.
Converted to B&W.
Two copies made on top each with different amounts of vertical motion blur and reduced opacity.
Split toned the result with dark blue/ dark red.
Coloured the whole with dark blue Lens Filter adjustment.
Frame made out of wide inside Outline layer effect with gradient and reduced opacity.
