It looks wintery and resembles a flower. I used Apophysis - 1.5 hr render. As winter fades, so does the beauty of its flowers. Slowly they wilt and then sleep, waiting for their season again. Website:
It?s almost winter, and all the leaves are falling. So why not a set of winter branches to add to your design work? This set practically built itself. Stand under a bare tree and aim the camera up?

Once I had my final sketch I used it as a blueprint for the official tree drawing. I don't freehand paint very much (although I should get back into the habit) so most of my images are more "constructed" than "drawn". By this I mean I work with shapes and textures as separate entities and combine them with environments created largely separate from the objects that are to go into them. In the case of Winter Mist II, I merged traditional art techniques with my construction method and developed a "shape" for the tree that could be subsequently shaded to specification and later merged into an environment of sorts.
This is a short tutorial about how to bring some night and mystery into your bright sunny photo. Here is the photo I took in the forest near my home. IMPORTANT NOTE - all steps below are true only for this very photo! This tutorial is only to describe general approach. Trust your eyes when applying effects.
Our image was taken with the Coolpix 990 and like most digital images straight from the camera they require some kind of tweaking to bring the best out of them. Using just some of Photoshop's tools we can add far more impact to our images.
It's always a good idea to keep an eye on the weather forecast as snow or a heavy frost can dramatically change the landscape. But what if it's not as much snow as we expected - don't worry, we can always improve things using Photoshop.
2. Fill the background with #4399d1 and look at the guides I've created in the screenshot below. Also select a rectangle like shown below (height of 350px) using your rectangular marquee tool.

You've seen space work before, you couldn't believe how real it looks and never believed that you could ever make such a thing as that. Wrong. With a copy of photoshop you can easily learn how to make planets, it is merely the mastery that is difficult.
The Dodge and Burn Tools (shortcut O) perform a similar function to their darkroom namesake and are ideal for localised tonal control. You can use these tools to lighten (Dodge) shown above or darken (Burn) shown below. Select an area of your image, in this case the hay bales, and start with the Exposure set at around 10% in the Options Palette and slowly build up the effect.
Gorgeous landscapes, early morning fog lifting off the frozen lake, the glistening icicles on the tree branches. Photography opportunities meet you at every corner. When your winter vacation takes you to the secluded, covered in snow, corner of Ontario; and you just discovered that perfect winter paradise scene; now you want to get it on film, or store it for latter so you can plaster it all over your desk top... Or maybe your children build that perfect snowman and you need to make a digital record of it, so you can show it to their children someday... There are countless reasons to take pictures in winter time. But heard the horror stories about the underexposed snow scenes, or foggy lenses... If you are convinced that trying winter photography will only leave you with less then perfect prints, you don't need to worry. The art of winter photography is no longer reserved for the professional, you too can have exceptional results with your digital or 35mm camera. First things first, if you plan to take spectacular winter landscape photographs, you will need to get yourself ready for the cold. As with dressing for any other winter outing, it is best to put on layers, as opposed to one bulky piece of clothing. You can always take off layers if the weather changes. Wear appropriate winter walking shoes, ones that will grip the snow and ice and not slide on it. We don't want you dancing on ice, sliding and slipping. You may not only fall, damage your camera but also become a suitable object for other photo enthusiasts out there. So lets get some good winter boots. Other things that you need are warm hat and a pair of thin, warm gloves. It is so much easier to take pictures wearing a slim glove and not the fat, bulky one. If you wear thick gloves, it may be nearly impossible to operate your camera, especially if it is a manual focus one. You may need to take the gloves off, exposing your hands to the cold, winter air. Your hands will quickly become cold and stiff and the photo session will be over... Since you are ready, now we have to take a look at your camera. First thing that will happen when you step outside, will be a fog on your lens. To overcome this, simply wait couple of minutes and let the optics adjust to the temperature. The fog will disappear with time. Please be patient and do not try to wipe it off. You may not only damage the lens, but also smudge it, so when it does adjust to the cold, the smudge will dry up and be impossible to remove on the ...
With the flexibility of processing available with digital cameras, you have better choices when in comes to choosing the finished format of your photograph. There is really nothing to lose to trying winter photography. You might even be surprised with the images that you captured. Once you have become accustomed to winter photography and have been familiar with the different techniques, you will find that winter is one of the best times of the year to go out there, take photos and make use of your digital camera. You will be surprised to see that the final results are worth the hassle.
