Snowy Hat

While going to the canteen that day I noticed this hydrant with its immaculate snow cap... Hoping it would last some more hours, I got out in the afternoon for getting a picture of this!

Post-processing is heavily inspired by techniques I've seen from David J. Nightingale (http://www.chromasia.com/), who often uses (or at least: seems to do so) individual gradient curves for R, G and B channels, resulting in different colour tones for shadow and highlight areas... some additional local contrast stretching, et voilą!

Browse the images on this site by clicking on one or more tags. When clicked, a tag becomes active (or inactive). Active tags will restrict the thumbnails on the bottom of this popup to images that have all of the currently active tags assigned. A tag that is assigned to the image currently visible is shown with a  blue background . Tags will be grayed out if none of the currently selected images have that tag assigned. Tags with a serif font designate an image gallery, i.e. images that are related to each other because they were e.g. taken during the same trip.
