Use this falling snow effect to add lots of falling snowflakes to your pictures online. You can choose between two types of snowflakes. The first winter effect adds blurred snowflakes, that are soft and transparent. The second one adorns photos with dozens of beautiful snowflakes with fine lines and realistic shapes.
Applying the falling snow effect to a landscape photo can turn a common image into a perfect winter greeting card. This snow photo effect is absolutely free and waits for you to upload your winter photos.
There are other interesting weather photo effects on Funny.Pho.to, including Rain and Raindrops templates, as well as Rainbow and Sun Rays effects. If you are looking for an animated snow effect, be sure to check the Falling Snow template. The background effects page offers lots of seasonal templates, including winter photo backgrounds and holiday Christmas bokeh photo effect.
Arthur, we don't have a lot of snow here by the South Pacific (Brisbane) but beach scenes (which are similar) need a stop down usually. Sunny 16 is sunny 22. One could set the film speed to double with a p&S if the camera allows it.
A polarizer can reduce reflections in snow which can compress the scale and lead to a drab photograph; you can lose a feeling of substance, snow is light and fluffy. If you over use contrast filters, the sky can be reduced to a very dark grey, almost black, and the shadows in the snow become too dark; a Yellow (K2) or minus blue (#12) are good filters to render snow with conviction and create contrast between the snow and sky.
I have had the best luck using a K2 Yellow filter,and pulling development approximately 15% from my standard when shooting snow scenes in bright sunlight. My standard for medium contrast light is Tri-X 400 rated at ASA 200, D76 1:1 for 8:15 minutes with 6 rapid tank inversions (5 seconds total) every 30 seconds. For bright, contrasty light (such as bright sun on snow) I reduce this to about 7 minutes. Negatives print well on #1-1/2 to #2 contrast filters with a condenser enlarger.
I have not had such pleasing results with a red filter. I believe it may pull too much of the blue light from the snow, but I am really not certain why. The yellow filter may not make the sky as striking (if there are clouds), but the snow can be very alive.
Arthur, no. v.s. :-) My comment was really about opening up or shutting down the iris. Opening up an f stop would let in more light and I would want less so I'd shut down a stop. I see your picture and can easily understand the Ca-nada (portugese) citizens interpreting it as snow. I would, too.
I think the OP will just have to take 5 pictures, normal, polarised, red, both filters and even stopped down as well. A digital camera might be worth a trial as a meter for such an experiment. People carry one as a pocket meter I'm told as they get smaller and smaller. Set it to show the speed and f-stop then apply the filters. Spectral sensitivity might be a problem with the red but it's just a thought. The digital goes down to IR - just look at the TV remote thru it and you'll see why.
I agree with those who use the orange filter, which often means opening up another 1.5 stops. It will be interesting to try a green, medium red, orange and deep yellow filter on a scene with bright snow and blue sky, to see the effects on the snow as well as the sky. I will do that with my digital camera when the sun comes out again.
The snow eliminating capacity, defrosting capability and pressure drop have been tested in a calibrated environmental test laboratory. These tests included simulated snow falls for extended time periods, of up to 8 inches per hour. Actual installations of 100% outside air systems confirm the lab results.
It was the early morning hours in Buffalo, New York. Trouble was brewing. Temperatures had plummeted and strong squalls began to blow across neighboring Lake Erie. Even though it was October, snow was falling faster than an inch per hour by the next afternoon.

I read recently that using a polarizing filter will help when shooting in snow conditions... which unfortunetly will be comming soon.... I will be shooting a lot outdoors, specially on outdoor hockey rinks... mostly on a 55-200VR
In other words, the sparkle on fresh powder, the mirror glare off of older thermal-cycled snow, and the mirror reflections from sheet ice. It won't do much to the general brightness of either snow or cloudy-looking ice. Once the multiple reflections take over inside the bulk volume of the snow pack the polarization becomes randomized, just like with clouds.
Thanks for the advice.... but no, I'm not going to be seeing snow "next Week" or anytime that soon (especially any place that would require Oxygen)... but my son starts skating in a couple weeks (indoors) which moves outdoors in dec. And being new to Digital SLR's, have not yet shot in the winter. I was told or was it read somewhere that a Polarizer would help against the glare and reflection on snow and ice. But as others have suggested, it does not. So, it will really be a learning expirence for me and something that will take some practise...
A Lake Effect Snow Warning is in effect Monday through late Tuesday night for southern Erie, Chautauqua, Cattaraugus, Wyoming, Oswego, Jefferson, and Lewis counties. A Winter Storm Watch for possible heavy lake effect snow is also in effect Monday afternoon through late Tuesday night for northern Oneida, northern Herkimer, and Hamilton counties. Through Monday, most of the rest of the state is forecast to receive up to an inch of rain and higher elevations could see a few inches of snow, causing Monday morning commutes to be potentially unsafe in some places.
State Police are monitoring weather conditions and are prepared to deploy additional Troopers as needed. All State Police four-wheel drive and specialized vehicles, including snowmobiles and utility terrain vehicles, are staged and ready for immediate response, and all emergency power and communications equipment has been tested.
This in fact is a real issue. For winter season I built some cars with winter tires and soft suspension. With the snowflake sign I was easily able to see wether a car is made for street races or offroad use. Now in spring I have duplicates of a lot of cars but can not see which car is the offroad one.
In Photo 2, you can usually find this under the "Effects" or "Filters" tab. Look for something like "Snow Overlay" or "Winter Effect." If it's not there, you might need to download a specific snow effect pack or plugin.
@Angela M It is not as sophisticated as some methods, but in case you would like to try this, I made an Asset several years ago that provides options for creating snow at different intensities. You just need to import it into your Assets Panel, then open an image, go to Assets, and double click on the Asset. This will allow you to drag the Snow Group across your image with the image placement icon, rather than having a huge representation covering your entire screen. In the Layers Panel you will see that the asset is a new pixel layer "Snow Group." It can be opened to make adjustments on any of 5 layers in the group. For slightly stronger snowflakes, finish by running the Subtle Sharpening Macro (I believe that should be in your Default category in your Library panel). You can add more snow anywhere you want by copying and pasting any of the five snow layers from the Snow Group on the top of the image. If you want to remove snow from part of the image you can click on each pixel layer and use the Eraser Brush.
I went out to the garage to drop in a dry AFE panel air filter into my new (2k miles) 2019 Golf R. I decided that while I was in there, I might as well do the snow baffle delete (not many snow days here in Dallas). I know about the four tabs holding it to the box. So I used a screwdriver to gently wedge between the box and the baffle. In the pic (sorry about the orientation, the right side of the pic is toward the front bumper), the two green arrows denote where these tabs came out easy and the left side (when facing the car from the front) and near side I could pull up easily about a 1/2".
