Harrisburg Snow

It started snowing a little bit in Harrisburg tonight, so I decided to run out and snap a couple pictures.

 

ohh, first one has something attractive to it.. it kind of catch you

 

I love the second one. It looks like it's raining/snowing. Great color and composition.

 

2 is awesome! the diagonal precip is really nice. how long was that exposure?

 

I really like the first one better. Not only the composition, but I don't ever remember seeing so much detail in a night shot without completely washing out the highlights.
What camera settings did you use, and you did use a tripod, yes? Or did you really "just snap it"?

 

Hi,

a very nice work. Both of them. The first one has a gothic touch, close to Comic-like illustrations (at least the whole left front of buildings, awesome). The second one, as well stated by other replies, with that singular touch of the diagonal lines.

Congrats.

Thanks everyone for your comments!

spiffybeth - The exposure was 25" I believe, long enough to let the snow have that neat effect

Early - For the first one i definitely used a tripod and the settings were ISO 200 - F/13 for 8 seconds

 

I love the 2nd picture. Nice composition and playing with light and reflection.

 

I like both of them but #2 is my favorite. It's a little more timeless I think. Great composition.
