The fast falling snow gave me the idea for narrowest possible aperture and longest possible exposure. I thought that the "lines" of falling snow could somehow resemble the corresponding PS-Filter that turns images sketch-like by adding diagonal lines. It seems to work on the tree - at least much better than on the rest of the image. Any comments would be very welcome.
Thanks a lot for the good detailed comment, Visar!
Indeed, a background that stands in good contrast woth the "trails" of falling raindrops or snowflakes seems to be a good choise.
As about the color, well, film is well known for doing such subtke things, even if the digital frint woll surely tell me that digital would "boost it up way much stronger", as if the synonym for "better" was.... "more". ;-)
I think here you have seized the most of what you can get on weather conditions like this. the idea of having the smallest aparture and longest exposure has drawn patternal lines of fallinig snow in a very pleasant fashion. and i think it cannot get any better.
i have tried the same with my camera, on a rainy day, and i failed. perhaps i should have considered a background that stands in contrast with rain drops.
one particular thing i think about, always, is the look of the film that generates those stunning colours; though vague and pale due to dominence of white, they still pop out throughout adorably.
