photos Warmth

Very well lit and an amazing atmosphere been created with this unique lighting condition.

Thank you for sharing it and wishing you and yours a very Happy and Peaceful New Year.

What a great shot - and every window lit. Well worth a walk in the cold!

I have always liked the sight of window light in homes. It makes a house seem alive and warm. This one is especially nice because of the snow! It gives me a wonderful sense of warmth just viewing it.

but from the technical information, it seems that you did a selective desaturation.  i think it worked beautifully.  really nice image.  best, j

Thanks, Jamie.  The two outdoor lamps (one to the right, not visible) gave off a yellow light that ruined the entire thing.

So, the steps I used were as follows:

(1) total desaturation;

(2) use of the history brush to bring back the original color of the windows;

(3) addition of a small amount of blue over the entire file.

But you knew that. . . .

The actual scene was so much better than anything that I managed to capture.

it looks great, and you thought of a good way to make it look more like it appeared to you than the actual crumby light from the (presumably) sodium lamps.  happy new year!!  j

Great seasonal shot!  The lights in the windows really have that warm feeling, that that you have a Christmas tree in the main window is icing on the cake.  I like the lighting on the snow and the trees -- very muted and mellow, just like I've experienced it in my walks around the neighborhoods at this time of year.  Very nice work.

Thanks, Stephen.

Lannie: Nicely done night photo.  Tom

Thanks, Tom.

Love this shot Lannie!  The lighting is wonderful.  Nice job! j

Thanks, Janis and Samme.  This shot of the house across the street was made the day after our first white Christmas in over a hundred years.  How most of the snow managed to stay on the trees for a full day I will never know, since it had been a pretty windy day.

Very nice composition ,what makes it so nice is the different lights in the windows,vs. the dim light still keeping the trees form in the surrounding.well executed.
