Another shot from the spring snow on Saturday. Catching the effect of falling snow in a still image is a challenge, but this is about as close as I have come. The snow was atypical, and easier…big flakes, falling slowly. Zooming in the image turns abstract.

This is my favorite of the series, but I suspect I would have to explain what it is to many people. To see it in motion, skip down to the video at the bottom.

Canon SX20IS. 1) 140mm equivalent field of view, f4.5 @ 1/160th @ ISO 800. 2) 240mm equivalent, f5 @ 1/100th @ ISO 800. Sports Mode to catch the motion for both.

Processed in Lightroom for intensity and clarity.

And here is a short video…not great quality due the the low light, but it gives you an idea of the effect.
