Snow Light
Posted by lichtling | Filed under anything, licht images
“Something I’ve never noticed before is how the light changes when it snows. This photo was taken around ten at night during quite a heavy snowfall. You can’t see the flakes falling because of the long exposure (30 seconds) but what is remarkable is that one can see anything at all under heavy cloud at that time of night. Yet the yard was nearly as bright as if it were under moonlight. My only explanation is that it is the city lights reflecting off the low clouds and the snow as it is falling and also bouncing back off the white snow below. Whatever the reason, it’s a lovely soft light.” (Benjamin Madison, Photographer)
In fact, the same observation I made last night in snowy Berlin.
