Picture taken at the Russian Orthodox Church, Hakodate.

It was dark and snowing heavily, by the time we arrived at the Russian Orthodox Church in the Motomachi neighbourhood of Hakodate. Using the flash to take any pictures would pick up the snow flakes like specks of dust all over the image. I used a long exposure here (in this case, 1/10 sec at ISO 1600, as I was not carrying a tripod) to photograph the snow flakes falling on the bushes illuminated by the spotlight.
