    I like the shot but, the building left front seems to be tilted to the left while the Biomedical school building seems tilted to the right?

    I was actually out for a coffee run. Thanks for commenting.

    I have never understood the science behind leaning buildings

    It's all based on magnification.

    John,
    I never drunk my coffee running. Always standing or sitting.
    I don't see wrong lines in the picture but it has something strange. I just can't nail it. Are the streets round? Maybe it's that.

    If by round you mean that the sides are lower that the centre of the road, the answer is yes. It is called crowning and is done to direct water to the side i of the road where the storm sewer are located to catch it.

    I suspect it is just an optical illusion. When I drop vertical guide lines on the edges of the buildings, the vertical lines are quite true. The medical building is off a touch in the direction you have noted, but the building(s) on the left look right on. The camera is not quite level either and I suspect some of the issue could be some minor lens distortion too.

    I suspect the road crowning that Andre has pointed out might be contributing to the issue.

    That being said, what is not working for me is the shallow DoF that throws much of the foreground, especially the car out of focus.

    Ahh, such memories. As an upstate NY kid, those gray snowy mornings were a big part of my life for years.

    BTW, not a photographic comment, but nonetheless: all the time I lived in upstate NY, I believed that the farther west you went, that is, the closer to Lake Erie, the worse the lake effect was. So I always assumed that Buffalo had it worse than my native Syracuse. Only recently, decades after moving away, did I learn that this isn't true. Lake Ontario has a large impact as well. Syracuse is the snowiest city with a population over 50,000 in the lower 48. Of course some smaller cities, like Watertown, get it worse yet.

    Anyway, back on topic: I think this is an interesting capture and well done, but I think the gas station on the right detracts (not that one could do anything about it).

    Hi Dan,

    Thanks for commenting, yes Oswego had a 141 inch snowfall one year. Sometimes entire sections of the city can escape the brunt of the storm. One year I was out of town when a huge snowfall hit, wearing only dress shoes and 3/4 of the city impassable. Luckily there was an entire stretch of the city from the airport towards my home that was completely void of snow. Thanks for viewing and commenting.

    The 85mm 1.8G is known for having a slight bit of distortion especially when shot wide open, thanks for commenting.

    Have you tried applying Lens Correction during PP with your raw converter? I find that this usually addresses the issue very well.

    Not in the raw converter, I applied it within Elements during processing.

    As soon as I opened this thread and saw your image, I got a wicked chill. That raw, wet, slushy kind a morning. Your pic told me everything I needed to know about your sunday morning. Your subsequent images only worsened the feeling.

    Not sure if I'm bragging or complaining but when I was in Kit-a-mat (on the northern coast of British Columbia Canada) the record snowfall was basically six feet in twenty-four hours.
