Snowfall  by olivetreeann

Snowfall

I took this the other night during our big snowstorm. It doesn't look like much in this shot, but it was actually coming down pretty thick at the time. The Orton effect gives the trees that soft edge and the flash brings out the snowflakes. I'm not sure what turned the sky from a steel gray to a midnight blue, but I'm glad it did!

I'm posting the final shots of 2012 early as we will be off visiting the family. Please do not feel obligated to comment on this massive upload!
