A favorite photog of mine has been Saul Leiter. I've been wanting to shoot some street photography in the snow for going on a number of years. Seeing his work again recently made me try extra hard to make it happen during our last snow fall. 10 shots is all I had took but feel it's still progress. Saul mainly used a long lens. I'm usually a wide angle shooter but went for a warmer feel for the shot than I normally would have, and quite like it.

Thanks for the encouragement :)

The timing I wish was a tad better in this one. I felt totally out of my element for some reason. Very self aware during this shoot. It's easier to blend in when there are more people on the streets. The 7d is somewhat weather sealed, but my lens isnt. Though I kept it in a clear produce bag with just the lens peeping out, a few droplets getting on the LCD screen. In the back of my mind there was hint of worry I'd ruin my camera. I've taken it to the beach and underwater(in a soft case). Some snow? LOL

I quite like this and think it better than Saul Leiter...I have someone else in mind, but can't think of it at this moment. Traveller
