Today @ Tremblant 12.5.09 Snow Making

[T360]

Today was cold enough to make snow continuously.

The following is a series of Web Cam Snap Shots.

All Web Cam Snap Shots are courtesy of http://www.tremblant.ca

Please forgive the scrolling required, however this format does not permit more than 3 images per file/post, hence replies added on.

In addition to the value of pictures for archival reference, the Web Cams are capable of "Special Effects" due to their reaction to various lighting conditions such as low light or strong directional light. This pictorial essay is presented in chronological order, with time stamps as noted, so to see the low light "Special Effects" to will need to scroll to the bottom.

Thanks for looking!

As the sun sets, the effect of the low light begins to alter the colour separations in the Web Cam images which produce their own "special Effects".

In this photo below, the Sun has just about disappeared, but the twilight is still enough to register interesting images. This Snap Shot is taken facing South-East, looking over the roof of the Ski Patrol Summit HQ towards Lac-Superieur. You can see the lights down in the Valley, some 5 or 6 K.M. distant.

4:43 P.M. advanced web cam colour separations in low light Sunset conditions.
