Cedar Flat, Lake Tahoe, California

I don’t really consider this an example of what most people think of when they hear the term “light painting” but I, with the help of my brother who didn’t complain about standing in the heavy snow for a couple hours, did add light from an external source (flashlight) to “light” the falling snow so I suppose it counts.

The exposure above was shot at ISO 3200 using the 5D Mark II and is another example of how being able to reliably use such a high ISO allows some exposures that weren’t possible with my Rebel XT.

Here’s another example from the night before using ISO 400 and a longer exposure…

Pier, Lake Tahoe, California

Although the conditions don’t make for a pleasant shooting experience I really like the results so I’ll be back outside the next time we get a big snow here in Seattle!
