Indeed, we got 2 feet in this dumping and it fell mostly within 12 hours. I like the yellow light reflection on the snow crystals. Cheers!

Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in a Montreal suburb in the evening during a winter storm. The halogen street lighting paints a yellowish hue over the snowy scenery.

Time

This was around 9PM at night. In northern latitudes, it is quite dark at that time.

Lighting

Halogen street lights provide nice yellow light. This lit up the scenery, including the falling snowflakes.

Equipment

An EOS 70D camera equipped with a Tamron 18-270mm zoom lens.

Inspiration

The scene look spooky, like we sometimes see in the movies. This was a major snow dump and the plow had not passed yet, so that gave an added look of remoteness.

Editing

None.

In my camera bag

The above, plus an L-Series 400mm zoom lens and doubler.

Feedback

Bring extra batteries when shooting outside in the winter because they only last half as long. Protect your gear from humidity after shooting outside. Otherwise, just look around you and creatively shoot!
