Snow storm

This is a beatiful site!.

Only critique I would have is that a longer exposure on a tripod might have helped this out instead of with a flash.

If you had the snow flying in the opposite direction the movement would contribute to the movement of the car and the overall dynamics of the picture. That way you wouldn't have the apparent conflict in the composition. Ideally, of course, you would have placed an orange filter on the strobe. The color temperature difference between the main scene and the snow is way too much for me. I don't like mixed lighting and whenever I approach a scene similar to this I just shoot in BW. Maybe you can convert this picture to BW to see if it works for you.

A few good words about this picture: Contrary to what I would normally have to say about wide angles and distorted perspectives, they actually both work really well in this case as they contribute to the "chaos" caused by the storm. I like the cropping: more weight to the snowflakes in the black sky and less to the road below. Actually, you have a REALLY good placement of ALL the elements in the scene. The contrast is just right. A less contrasty rendition would yield a more relaxed feel to it and that's not what you want in this kind of picture. The exposure time was perfect. Any faster and the car wouldn't appear to be moving (because it appears so small). With any slower shutter speed it would be blurred beyond recognition. From my experience this was somewhere between 1/30 and 1/5, I don't know how fast it was going. You really nailed this one.

The bottom line. With opposite direction of the snowflakes and the whole picture in BW I'd say you have a masterpiece.

I really enjoyed studying this very special piece.

Thank you.
