A Snowy Santa Fe Eve at Cathedral Park

Settlers Monument ( http://www.foodmuseum.com/FHCSantaFeHispanic.html ) in Santa Fe, New Mexico near the Plaza downtown after a Thanksgiving Day snow.

The really fun thing about this image for me is that it was taken with no noise reduction on at all (High ISO NR or Long Exposure NR). I didn't use any in post processing either, but I did have to slightly adjust white balance with the tricky lighting to remove a yellowy warm I got on Incandescent WB. The D300 is looking to be quite the capable night photography machine in the early going. ;-)))
