Seems like the challenge is in the back of my mind here....hmmmm?

Theres no blizzards like snow blizzards!

Ahhh lucky you.... Be cool shooting now.

I tried to take a few in Manhattan last night,but it was coming down so fast and so wet all the shots are full of big white blobs. :^( Plus,I had to take them from a moving car...which meant I had to use the flash...at least so far as I know...Would there have been another way,to do it?Like shutter priority and a higher ISO?I don't know anything about taking this kind of night shot...

I just heard on the news that the storm is keeping loads of our NHL-players to reach the Olympics. #:o( DAMN YOU YANKS!!!! You had this all figured out didnt ya? Sigh. #:oP Marlene...play around with what you just mentioned....different shutter speed and ISO-settings, and soon enough youll find a setting that works for you. I wouldnt recommend the flash when shooting falling snow though. Joe took a really good first shot there, maybe he can share what kind of settings he had. #:O) Hmm...is that a Hyundai Santa Fe i see hiding behind that bush? Sigh...i need to buy a car already and get it over with....

How come we say 'It's colder than hell outside' when isn't it realistically always colder than hell since hell is supposed to be fire and brimstone?

I can show one of them...if you don't mind,Joe... PS I like the way that house looks in the first shot.It reminds me of Currier and Ives. :^)

So heres another one from today...yeah I live in the GARDEN STATE...all we're growin' is ICICLES! Hey that shot in #3 is NOT taken at night...its the dugout wall on the baseball field across the street! I just messed around with it in Virt. Photographer. (sorry for the confusion there!) @ Andreas... yes that Santa Fe is my wifes car! Decent vehicle for the price! Hey..The snow is also keepin Michelle Kwan's replacement from getting out of the U.S. I hear! @ marlene - If you use a flash when the snow is falling, you'll get them "blobs" from the flash reflecting off 'em. Because some are in focal range and some are not, some will be more defined than others. I would up the ISO to 400 or 800 (NOTE: Upping the ISO may introduce more grain in your image!) Seeing as you were also in a moving car, that may also cause a (blur) problem that you would need to compensate for using by adjusting shutter speed! OH and PLEASE share your images...by all means! (THATS how we learn from each other round here...by example!)

This was today at 3.00PM in North Bronx. Hmmm, did you forget which car was yours?

Love that Garden State shot.Thanks for the info,Joe.Here's one of my 'disasters'.The best of the worst,lol. :^) By the way,I was in the city last night to see the show,Jersey Boys.Great show...especially if you're from Joisey,lol.

snow? well, will you look at that! well we did get a cool breeze down here.. :]

@Chris...I think there is a few of us here who could MAIL you some REAL snow if you want (and YOU too CYN)(LOL!)

Hey Marlene...the only thing that really bothers me about your image is it seems kinda "cut-off"! If you had the whole sign post in frame (a lower angled shot), I think this would have been awesome! I know being in the car probably made composing pretty difficult though! Y'know, the B&W toning gives this a very "NOIR" film-like quality!

Thanks Joe...Like you,I did that with Virtual Photographer,lol. And yes,I wish I had more of that post...but it's awfully hard to compose from a moving vehicle! ;^)
