This fall and early winter, Chadron has received snow more often that in years past, random 2013 blizzards and so forth aside. Every time I see snowfall in the cone of light from a street lamp, I get the urge to photograph it. The sharp line between the lit area and the unlit area makes for a strong composition element. Two variations I worked with: slow shutter speeds to accentuate the lines of snow, and fast shutter speeds. The question is finding a balance between fast enough shutter speed and the lowest sensitivity to allow that shutter speed. ISO 25,000 is just too noisy, but ISO 3200 wasn't bad at all.
