Oh, Mother Nature, you saucy minx…

The day after the snow storm was a bright, beautiful day. The snow still on the trees contrasting with the blue sky was pretty spectacular. I took this with ProCam and it is untouched by post-processing.
This was the night of the snow storm, after it had all ended. We have some amazingly tall trees in our condo complex, and as I was standing at the top of our driveway, the lights from the next sets of buildings over, framed by the trees heavy with snow, struck me as a great picture. The sun had set and the last of the light in the west was making the evening sky a deep blue.
I wish is was better at capturing night photos with my iPhone. It’s something that I’m still learning how do, and the results tend to be hit or miss. But, despite being on the grainy side, I really like how this one turned out.
What do you get when there’s a snow storm? A bunch of picture of snow. I’ll have a couple over the next few days, but I won’t drag it out too long, I promise.
I snapped this one just as the sun finally decided to show itself after the storm. It was late in the day, and the light was touching the trees in the background.
To give it an even more ethereal look, I imported the picture into Hipstamatic and applied a Anne-Marie lens and Mount Royal film, which blurred the edges of the picture nicely, drawing attention to the sun on the tops of the trees in the background.
