Winter Wonderland, a photo from Quebec, Centre

Photographer's Note

During winter season, the Bonsecours Basin in picturesque Old Montreal is transformed into a skating rink, offering a beautiful view over the city on one side, and St.Laurent river on the other.

A great place to bring a date, friends from out of town, as well as the whole family.

hi andre. i am looking at it on the tiny screen of my cell phone, but i couldn't wait for seeing the large version. there is a magic in here, i mean, i've seen tons of flake photos but the ones here are different. exposure, flash whatever you did here makes this one unique. and for the first time in my life, looking at a snowing photo makes me happy almost like the times i see it snowing in real. lovely and full of magic.

André
Tu nous avais caché jusque là cette petite merveille!Superbe heure bleue avec un effet magique créé par ces flocons de neige en mouvement.
Amitiés

Bonjour André

Stupéfiant! Est ce vrai ou une superposition de 2 photos. en tous cas, c'est très attractif par les flocons qui tombent et l'atmosphère bleutée du soir.
ça me fait penser à 2 tableaux de Van Gogh: "terrasse du café le soir" et "nuit étoilée sur le Rhone".

bonnes fêtes
CLODO

Ohhh c'est beau l'Afrique du Sud à Noël, je ne pensais pas qu'il y avait de la neige comme cela :-)
Ce qui me plait le plus ici, c'est le rendu de la neige qui tombe; c'est ce qui donne le petit plus à l'ambiance.

Yves.

Hello Andre,
It's wonderful! Looks like a page from a fairy tale story.

Bien le bonjour M'sieur André,
Résultat superbe. Pour un peu on pourrait croire qu'il faut prendre la photo, la secouer et regarder les petits flocons tomber!
Ça ressemble à une superposition ça non? En tout cas c'est efficace!

hello André
Très belle image que tu peux sans problèmes utiliser comme carte de voeux !
Superposition peut être, sans doute même mais résultant très probant
Bon dimanche et joyeuses fêtes de Noël, même si les conditions climatique sont bien différentes à Joburg qu'à Montréal !

Hello Andre - I wonder, as the Christmas season is almost upon us do you miss the Northern hemisphere celebrations? This is wonderful, the atmosphere created by the bright streaks of falling snow and star shaped points of light is like something from a Christmas fairy tale. Magical! Warm regards Rosemary

Bonjour André. Effectivement, c'est très féerique !
Je me demande comment tu as fait pour obtenir ce rendu, on dirait que les flocons brillent...
Bravo et Joyeux Noël.

Marie.

Bonjour André,

Tu as très bien su utiliser la belle neige qui tombe dans cette superbe composition. Le point de vue sur la marché Bonsecours est de toute beauté et il est parfaitement illuminé. Une très belle carte de Noel finement réalisée.

Bon dimanche

Hi Andre,
Outstanding winter image, with fine light and the soft flakes falling slowly from the sky. I like the FG too.

Hello Andre,
This is a gorgeous winter postcard. The snow looks like it's glowing as it gently falls. I like the way the bare tree branches frame each side, and the lights seem to burst into stars. It's a magical scene. Have a Merry Christmas!

holmertz (102042) 2013-12-22 11:45

Hello Andrew,
This is a magic photo, but I'm just waiting for Cinderella to appear. You have really re-created the atmosphere of an old Disney cartoon with this light, the snowflakes and the lamps shining like stars. It's actually quite fantastic,
Kind regards,
Gert

How did you do this Andre? How? A slow shutter makes the Snow look like shooting stars? It is almost fairytale like :) No words at all. Simply Brilliant!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Hi again,

Not much to say but just to show my appreciation for such technically fine image. Love the motion of the snow fall in a diagonal slant. The snow trail feel like asteroid and stars falling to earth.
