The snow streaks make for a nice variation on the typical star shot. The color treatment is good, too (it goes with your site’s color theme!)

Fake emails are fine , but I’ll look into making that field optional. Good point

Thanks for the thoughtful comment- I’m still trying to get the hang of white balance in the snow, especially on the long exposures in fluorescent light.

Many thanks in advance for your feedback

Starry snowy night

January 5, 2009 : Oregon (Extreme Weather, Portland, Sky, winter)

We had another flurry of snow last night, about half an inch, but by the morning it was gone. While it fell I took this long exposure shot with a flash so you get the trails of the snow with some flakes ‘frozen’ by the flash.
