Magical Scene
Just tap on your keyboard's right arrow to see this image without "snow." As you can see, I managed to keep my camera warm and dry while producing this image. :D The original photo was taken during the heat of summer.
To create the snow effect, I used a technique taught by Unmesh Dinda of PixImperfect fame (his videos on Photoshop are simply amazing). My attempt turned out better than I expected. You can see his masking technique illustrated at www.youtube.com/watch?v=YeWcNsw-KRw. (He doesn't demonstrate how to create the snow effect, but it equally applies.) I also darkened the image and painted the tops of the railings and posts white to simulate frost and snow.
