I captured this scene the other weekend with a fellow photographer friend Chris Ward Photography. Chris lives in Kingston and was here wanting to get out and take some shots. We wandered around for a few hours last night in the winter storm, trying to find some interesting perspectives to shoot down around the hill and near the canal.

With the storm, there was not very many people out at all, so was nice to have the area pretty much to ourselves without worrying about people in the shots.

For this shot, I have my camera set down low to the snow, and just beside a street lamp. I couldn’t move it any closer to the buildings as I would have had very long shadows to deal with removing from the camera and tripod in post.

It was very windy last night, with lots of snow and blowing snow. I managed to catch the cloud streams nicely in this scene before it just became a mass of white above the building. Post processing was completed in Lightroom. I didn’t do that much to the shot, some dust/.snow removal from the lens, white balance adjustment, added clarity and contrast in the clouds to enhance the streaks.
