Snow Buster

Yesterday it was the 24M...today it was the 140M in the R.M. of Scott.
Colder than yesterday at about -33C with the wind chill I brave the elements for over an hour
to capture this 140M in action.....moments before this image I was covered in snow.
I takes nerves of steel to capture images like this when the grader is in eighth gear and
traveling at 29mph throwing a mountain of snow in your direction.

Nikon D300 ,Nikkor AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8G ED
1/640s f/10.0 at 34.0mm iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

The personal experience always makes the shot that much more - especially in winter.

I know he's plowing the pavement, but it almost appears as if he's plowing the prairie! ;-)
