Creative Snow Photos. Make a Sepia Tone Image.

Did you get snowed in recently? There certainly were a lot of people around the USA that were treated to record snow falls these past couple of weeks. In the Twin Cities area we were blessed with another 10-12 inches over the last week and the piles are getting pretty high with no melting in site. If you are like me you can’t resist taking “snow photos”. And, you will probably want to send a few shots to your friends in the warmer parts of the country to show them what they are missing.
Yesterday morning we were treated to one of those beautiful winter spectacles called Hoar Frost. (Frozen dew that forms a white coating on a surface. It is also called white frost.). I took the above shot out of my car window (I did stop the car) on my way to the store. After cropping (16×9 TV format) and color correcting the photo I clicked on the sepia tone button in CorrectPhoto to create the above image.
Here is the color version for comparison. You can decide which version you prefer.
For the most part, snow photos are pretty dull color wise. So, turning a few of your favorite shots into a sepia tone images might just make them a bit more interesting. And, it is easy to do.
It seems that much of the US has been blessed with snow and bad weather over the past few weeks. Maybe taking a few photos and applying some creative touches to them will ease the problems the weather has created.
