Our meteorological soothsayers may have erred last weekend when they predicted the snow that then blanketed our friends (and enemies) in DC would do the same to us in New York, but today their snowy prognostications rang true.

Fifty Ninth & Lex — Nikon 24mm f/2 AIS @f/2 ISO3200

Lexington Ave in all her snowy glory. This shot is composed of half a dozen or so images on Nikon’s previous fastest 24mm, wide open. The car wasn’t very happy at me taking pictures in the middle of the street, but it was worth it. The weird blob of light around some of the lights is coma caused by snow on the lens. They’re a bit odd looking, but at least they have more personality than plain old coma that fast lens tend to get.

The framing could have been slightly better on this shot to not have the walk light get cut off on the right side, but the lighting is great, you can easily make out the direction of the snow, perfectly angled to cover the sign.

You can’t even see the snow at all in the thumbnail of this, but full size you can see it, though it doesn’t add much.

The 59th and Lex is a fantastic photo. What a creative perspective for a panorama. I’d love to see that blown up on a ceiling.
