Experimental – Snow Scenes

In this Experiment, I will coat the landscape with a heavy frost (duration: 2 days). Then, I will add a thick layer of snow (duration: 1 day). Next, I will illuminate the scene with approximately 32,000 (or maybe more) lumens per square meter of sunshine, and quickly photograph the results in sub-sub freezing temperatures.

I will run the photos through a ‘filter machine’ called Topaz Studio. The experimental results are as follows:

Rose Hips coated with ice and snow – no filter

Rose Hips with a spikey (spiky) filter

Rose Hips with a painting filter

Rose hips with a flow filter

A lot of people like snow. I find it to be an unnecessary freezing of water.

Experiment Conclusion:

• Filters are a great way to alter a photo and spend time indoors – out of the cold.
• Winter has arrived a bit early here in Alberta. It is warm and dry in Arizona. While I am glad I had the opportunity to experience this ice/snow storm, I’ll be glad to finally head south for a few months in the New Year…

There’s one good thing about snow, it makes your lawn look as nice as your neighbor’s.
