Heavy Snow hits the North East

My heart goes out to the folks buried under the snow and ice. I've lived in Kansas and in Germany where snow and ice can be troublesome to say the least. I hope that you are adequately prepared for the storms and that everything works out ... that you and yours remain safe and healthy.

With the current weather patterns in mind, snow and ice can present problems for our images. Notice the above image from the Boston Globe. You can fix the problems with this image in Bridge fairly easily or in Photoshop with a simple Curves adjustment layer. Once you've finished, you really get a feeling for the volume of snow falling to the ground.

So if you are stuck at home, why not warm up with a bit of Mother's Milk and a good book.

Biker: "You're Hells Angels, then? What chapter are you from?"

Death: "REVELATIONS, CHAPTER SIX."

Enjoy.
