Historic house in a park near our home... (taken early in the morning at -35)

 

 

Brrrr. Great shots - the lighting on the house is gorgeous. We spent a winter in North Dakota with 35 below temps - with 80 below wind chill. I like it here in Texas better - it's 42 now with a forecast high of 63.

Thanks Sparky . . . so when is the next flight to Texas? :) Those temps sound just fine!!

 

North Dakota has no trees to stop the wind :D . . . nasty weather (Similar to Manitoba, Canada)

Great pic!

Time for the next challenge. Anyone have any ideas? How about pictures that strongly feature the use of lines or patterns?

Happy to, as soon as my wife let's me play with my new 70-200mm lens. For some reason, she's got this thing about not using Christmas gifts before Christmas.:mad: I'll see what I can come up with and post something soon.

I must be married to your wife's sister. My wife will not let me play with my new Canon Pixma 9000 pro printer.

I'll drink.....er.....scoop....to that! :D

I decided that waiting on a new lens was just an excuse, so I played around with some things in the house, and then ventured out into the dull, gray, overcast day (my excuse for poor lighting :D). Nothing spectacular but hopefully adding on to jimjamxx's jello shots to keep things moving.

 

35mm, f/4.5, 1/50 sec, ISO 2500 (postprocessing to darken the black background)

 

42mm, f/6.3, 1/50 sec, ISO 3200

I just got one of those, too. Talk about a big box! It came with a new Canon EOS 7D (ahhh, that new camera smell). Been trying the camera, haven't had time to get to the printer.

I thought about doing the same thing, with the rebate.

Buy the camera and the printer is free.!!!

 

Decided to keep my same body(Canon xti) with the multiple lenses I all ready have.

18-55is, 55-250is, 10-20is(sigma), 50 1.8 prime, 50mm macro, 70-300(non is).

 

I will save my pennies to look at the Canon T2i.

 

That way I will be able to use the lenses I all ready have.

Not just for the $400 rebate, but overnight shipping was free. I ordered them Wednesday morning (New York) and they were delivered (Florida) Thursday morning. The 7D replaces my 20D as the main camera, and my lenses (Sigma 17 - 70 and Canon 70-200L f4-5.6 plus Canon 1.4X extender) fit. I needed the 7D because of the improved weather sealing - I do a lot of nature and travel photos, often in rainforests - and the video capability is interesting.

The Pixma Pro9000 replaces my Canon i950 that finally gave up and is giving me the print head error signal (obsolete model - no parts available).

Here is a shot of an old railroad bridge that has been converted into a pedestrian bridge in our city.

 

 

 

 

And here is one of shadows on the snow . . . Yes, it is winter up here :-(

Thank you. They were the hit of the party, well after the alcohol.
