Day 202

I had this idea after shooting the images of my son jumping off the garage into the snow. I liked the flash on the snow in the air so I thought I would try to capture him running through a cloud of snow. This didn't come out quite like I had envisioned, but I was attempting to do it alone.

No one else was around so I set the camera on a tripod with the timer set. I had to push the shutter release, run over and grab a shovel, wait for what I thought was the right time, throw the snow in the air, drop the shovel, and then run through the falling snow as the flash fired.

It took a number of tries to get this. The snow isn't as thick as I wanted but it is the idea. I may have to try again when I have some helpers.
