Mercury Snow

Posted by Kenton (Calgary, Canada) on 10 January 2009 in Landscape & Rural.

While I did do some modifications to this picture, the colour is actually original (actually I toned it down a bit). I took a bunch of photos this particular night because the frost on the tree was incredible. However there was a lot of reflection of the street lights in the sky and on the trees, thus the orangey colour produced by the mercury-vapour streetlights.

I always appreciate feedback and constructive criticism. Thanks for stopping by.

You can visit me on Flickr as ks_focalpoint or on Fotopedia. I'm also working on a website of my own, stay tuned...
