Vancouver Island Snowfall in HDR

bradpowellphoto · February 25, 2011

It is not unusual for us to get 30 feet of snow in a winter up in the mountains on Vancouver Island. But closer to ocean level where it is a lot milder, snow is a lot rarer and is usually washed away by rain a day or two later.

So when we recently had a big front of arctic air blow in along with a snowfall of a foot of snow it got all the local photographers out and snapping away like crazy.

I have bracketed all my shots lately and then processed the images in CS5 and NIK HDR Efex Pro. All these images were taken with my little Canon G11 which is my glove compartment camera.

Nice series! I like the 3rd and 4th ones the best, and that shot of your dog is priceless!

You've got a great set of images here and HDR really works here.

Thanks for the kind words everyone! I threw the picture of Bono my Blue Heeler in for comic effect. He loves the snow and loves to pose for the camera as well. I am doing more and more HDR lately and trying to refine my technique a bit. Its great to always have my G11 along with me on hikes where my dslr isn't feasible.
