Drifting Snow

Uploaded: December 08, 2006 14:11:51

Description

I snapped this picture two days ago on a road south of Grand Forks, next to a country church and cemetary. It was very windy, and the snow was drifting across the road. You will notice a sun dog (see my post from yesterday) under the branches of the tree overhanging the road.


Canon 17-40L f/4; 1/200; ISO 100; f18 (one full stop underexposed); hand held; slightly cropped; Orton technique applied.
