Interesting Photo of the Day: Dog Experiences Snow for the First Time

Posted: 17 Dec 2013 01:07 PM PST

What’s more magical, more festive, more innocent than seeing snow for the first time? For Tilly, a Border Collie in Oklahoma, the pure joy of bounding about in the white playground for the first time was a fantastic experience. Here, her owner captures the look of wonder and delight as snow gently falls on Tilly’s face:

Using a Nikon D7000 with Tamron 70-300mm f/4-5.6, the photographer (who goes by tgibson12) was able to come out with a crisp image, freezing this perfect moment forever. If you look closely (zoom in on Tilly’s eye), you can even see a reflection of the photographer’s friend as he packs a snowball for the dog to chase!

The Making of a Winter Wonderland Commercial Composite Photograph (Video)

Posted: 17 Dec 2013 12:10 PM PST

Think you need to live somewhere cold and snowy to get pictures of a winter wonderland? See how Erik Almas created an icy urban scene for Trondheim Torg Shopping Center without a single snowflake:

To begin the process, Almas used a medium-format camera to shoot frames of a cloudy, snowless day in front of the shopping center in his home town of Trondheim, Norway.

Next, he traveled to a London studio to take pictures of ice sculpture replicas of the shopping center and a model. When shooting the model, he used an assortment of Profoto softboxes to replicate the soft light produced by an overcast sky and snowy landscape.

With the results of his three photo shoots, Almas created a composite of several images that resulted in a magical winter scene.

The final image includes many eye-catching details, such as glowing street lamps, believable shadows, and a textured, snowy sky. It’s hard to believe that the photo began with a plain photo of the shopping center on a dry, grey day.
