That is an amazing photograph. What an experience it must have been to see that blue sky — is the photo significantly enhanced? What time of day? I’d love to se your work.
Dan Plumley, Adirondack Wild
Dan,
Thanks for the comments. The photo has undergone what photographers refer to as “post-processing,” meaning that adjustments to exposure, contrast, color, etc. have been made. This allows the details in both the snow and the rich blue of the sky to be present. This was taken late afternoon. You can view more of my photography on my website: http://www.brendanwiltse.com or my Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/brendan.wiltse.photography
Cheers,
Brendan
Great eye! Beautiful shot!
When seeing such beauty one wants to believe in Santa Claus if only just for a moment, thank you for sharing with us the mood on Marcy at that moment that you captured so perfectly.
***Happy Holidays***
