Blue Christmas?

Filed Under: Photography

We actually had a white Christmas this year. It was a little late but it did snow on Christmas. I really love to use the Cyanotype Preset in Lightroom 2 on my snow pictures. I just love the way that it makes the snow pictures look. So I applied that then exported it and opened it in Elements and added a soft light blending layer. Resized and sharpened for the web.

    there's no cyanotype preset in my lightroom 3 - I wonder if they just changed the name?
  9. Rosie@leavesnbloom says

    December 28, 2010 at 3:21 pm

    That's lovely how the edit turned out though I like the sooc as much as the edit. I must go into lightroom and try this out on some of my snow photos and see what they look like.

    Very pretty - definitely a sweet shot for Tuesday. :) We had an ice storm earlier this month and I snagged a couple of nice shots with my easy to use digital camera. It'll be fun to enjoy these come summer when we're roasting, won't it? :)
