"Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow"

Just a few shots from the North Pole.....Oh, sorry I forgot this is SOUTH LOUISIANA and that in just a few short hours this would all be gone. Loved it while it lasted.
I felt like a kid again seeing snow for the first time....what a fun way to start the day!!!!

Trying something new....

High Dynamic Range Digital Photography

Taking three shots in quick succession and blending them to capture the nuances of light and color.The luminous color comes from exposure bracketing.... which is done by taking two or more different exposures of the same image and blending them to create one final image with a more dynamic color range (referred to technically as High Dynamic Range - HDR). This is a definition of HDR.

I used Dynamic-Photo HDR Program to work on this shot.
In this program you can use one photo and get a fake HDR or you can do it the I described above but I'm still learning to do that. It's also a free program. There are other programs out there that work better I'm sure but they can be pricey.
I don't know if this is something I would do all the time but it was fun to play around with this program.
