A Snowy Day In Chicago-Town

The first big snowstorm of the year. I'm just trying to get outside of my comfort zone (tight portrait-style shots) and stretch myself a bit. I used the flash to illuminate the snow falling in front of the pole and metered about in the middle of the pole. Which was just enough light to avoid seriously overexposing the light bulb. It was still way overexposed, I added a burn layer in PS to turn it down a notch.

Nikon D700 @ ISO 200, spot metered
Nikkor 200mm f/4 AI (manual focus)
Speedlight SB-25 @ 1/16 manual (zoom to 135mm)

weather outside is frightful
