Snow flakes. This is as clear as I can get considering my amateur skills in photography although I enjoys it greatly. Maybe it's just the incapability of my Canon S410..kekeke. This is not the snow falling but the snow flakes are stucked on the plastic wall of the bus stop. I have to adjust the whiteness according to a snow background, used the lowest shutter speed and taken from a distance with zoom..any nearer without the zoom, the snow shape blurs into streaks or circles. Frust! Posted by Hello

Alternatively, if you want to reduce the shakes, don't use zoom. Then try a little higher ISO, 100 perhaps to take a better darker picture... Anyways, thanks for your snowflakes picture...

But if I don't use zoom, the picture blurs. If I'm too far away, I still won't be able to get the details of the flakes.

You mean you can't stand near to the flake to take the picture? Do pardon my insolence since I've never seen snow or snowflakes before...

The snow flakes is light rain drops but larger and has a crystalline shape to it. So if I zoom, the flakes that falls near my camera will be very huge and will turn out as white balls while the further ones are just tiny white balls. If I don't use any zoom, I just get a bunch of white smear. What is the ISO for actually? I thought that the higher I go, the sharper my image would be? no?

ISO is a function in digital camera where it will increase the sensitivity of your image sensor. Put it to a higher degree will easily capture dark environment but the downside is that it will introduce a lot of noise.

However, with some new software like Neat Image, you can actually reduce the noise and yet retain most of picture quality.
