1/17/08 - Let It Snow

A proper winter day with snow - finally. Just about the same time as the first "real" snow fell last year.
The other day when we had a 30 minutes blizzrd that came from no where and left as quickly - http://www.pbase.com/ed_k/image/91711327 - I was searching for the shutter speed that gave snow "streaks". Got it today.
When I took this it was snowing hard and the flakes were more like giant wet snowballs. They really did a job on the camera when I pulled my plastic bag cover off to release the shutter. As soon as I post this, off to B&H to order a more durable wet weather protector.

Very nice composition. I like the perspective and the depth of field you achieved. Nice reflections.

Nice shot. 1/30 second - I'll have to remember that for snow. We got an inch or two today, but it turned to rain later and got pretty slushy after that.
