Funny how I’ve been living in Montreal for more than 12 years and I still have very few winter photos in my collection. So what a better day than Christmas Eve to go out and take a few photos. Most of you have already seen the Snowy backyard somewhere on the Plateau Mont-Royal blog post a while ago.

The following photowas actually the first one taken that night afternoon using a Nikon D300 and a Sigma 10-20mm all zoomed out at 10mm. My main concern when I took this photo was to make sure I had the all shed on the right of the image along with the perspective of the alley.

Processing involved accentuating the lack of colors through a partial black and white conversion except for the rusted scene and make the scene feel more real and textured through contrast enhancement.

• Unedited video of the whole processing (Music by Guitar Flute and String, Moby) – real time 15 min:
