SNOWSTORM

ON 5TH AVENUE

SNOWSTORM Image taken during a heavy snowstorm on 5th Avenue, New York City. This is a favorite of mine for its timeless feel. It was taken on the Leica SL with a 28-90mm Elmarit F2.8-4. I used to use this setup for snowstorms with a rain cover, but now I've opted for the S lenses.
