The Hunt for Hoarfrost: Winter Photography & HDR Editing in Lightroom

Описание: Happy 2026! Welcome back to the channel. To kick off the new year, I’m heading back out into the Canadian winter to capture a phenomenon that was too good to ignore: incredible hoarfrost.
Join me as I travel through three different locations—from scrubland riverwalks to frozen meadows—searching for that perfect crystalline frost on the trees and shrubbery. Along the way, I even managed to spot some local deer!
In the second half of the video, I head back to the studio to show you my Lightroom Classic workflow, including how to merge bracketed images into an HDR photo process for winter scenes.
