Shimmering Snow

Imagine millions of tiny snowflakes like this falling from the sky on a cold winter night. You might be inside with a cup of hot chocolate enjoying the performance of nature. I’ll be out painfully trying to capture the wonder (and dreaming about that hot chocolate).

You’ll notice some magenta and green/cyan colour casts in this image. They are present in most of my images, and could be considered chromatic aberrations, a defect in the way light is bent by the lens to create the image. Sometimes I leave it in, as it adds a certain shimmer and life to a snowflake.

Nature is beautiful.
