December - All Wrapped Up


All Wrapped Up

My final pick for the 12 from 2010 project was taken just 10 minutes walk from home, on the Embankment in Bedford.

The shot was taken with the Canon G11, following a heavy snow shower the previous day.

I was lucky to catch the sun peaking thorough the stormy sky as it reflected on the frozen River Ouse.

I think adding Clare and the Girls at the edge of the frame has added a nice touch of colour to the scene.

The shot is a 3 shot HDR, which was combined in the excellent Nik HDR Efex Pro - This gave me the bright snow and girls' colours in the foreground, whilst also keeping the detail I was after in the sky.
