Found out how dirty my 20d sensor is! Yikes. :wxwax :dunno
Almost as scary as chasing the sun as it is rising at -30C! Yikes. So I wasn't really fast enough to get out there for sunrise, 'bout half an hour past:

Can't decide if I've messed enough or too much with it! Original - and do not ask why I forgot to change ISO again!:scratch :wxwax

    cool
    Hey Ann,


    I'm really enjoying lookong at snow shots these days. Those are real fine especially considering the challenging shooting conditions. Your post work on the first shot was excellent. thumb.gif

    Pur temperature went down to 79 degrees today. I can't wait for winter to end. :roll

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Ann, a coincidence?
    Guess what the temperature was here today? 30C! :-)

    Hey, I really liked your landscapes. The frosty cows make a very cool picture, which makes me "brrrrr!" of course. The powerlines are pretty cool, as well... but I think if I were shooting them, I would try to fill more of the frame with the 'towers' that are on the background, perhaps by shooting from a different angle or with another focal length. Not sure if it would work, though... :-)

    I like the exposures throughout, and the mix of warm sun light and the coldness from the snow. Love that look!

    Thanks so much for sharing!
    Take care!

    Well, thanks, Harry!
    I can't wait to be as old as you so I can retire somewhere warm rolleyes1.gifrolleyes1.gifrolleyes1.gif

    Take care, and Harry - next time you start to feel a cold coming on try 'Cold-FX'. It seems to really work at preventing colds from taking root - flus too.

    Hi thiago

    They make me brrrr too! I'm ready for a heat wave! On the power tower shot, I did try getting a different angle, but was falling through the snow. At that point I'd been shooting about an hour - in and out of the car - and well, it just wasn't worth getting a boot full of snow! rolleyes1.gif And about focal length - well, I only have one! (not quite, but my lens selection is still really small -)rolleyes1.gifrolleyes1.gif

    Thanks for looking, and for your comments. Nice hearing from you - now could you send some heat this way?

    Hi Ian

    Sad story here about some frosty cows! A feedlot had gone into recievership on about Wednesday - the reciever was in charge of feeding, and apparently overfed the cattle. Many got very ill, bloated and then froze to death. About 170 head were lost!

    Thanks for looking.

    No way, no how - not ever, would I have the desire to go icefishing! Yuck!
    Great shots, though!
