http://www.snaps.blind-apertures.ca/...gSnowLarge.jpg (full
size) http://www.snaps.blind-apertures.ca/...gSnowSmall.jpg (quick loading) Indeed, we've been hit with a BIG dump of snow... I caught these two fellows clearing a parking lot which was nearly impassable. I shot this one in manual mode, using a variation of the sunny 16 rule, lowering the aperture to f/11 while bumping the shutter speed up to 1/200 second. I also added a fill flash, just in case I wasn't over-exposing sufficiently to bring out the faces... Also, this was the first real test of my new 18 - 55mm IS lens. With the limited amount I've tried it out, it seems to be working not too bad. What do you think? Take Care, Dudley

Take Care, Dudley It's pretty cyan because of the sky reflectivity on the snow. The foliage in the background is true because it is in sunlight. If you adjust the color temp upward (~6500 - 7500ºK) the snow will become more neutral. That would be more pleasing to some observers.

I think I see chromatic abberation, most noticably if you look at the left and right edges of the leftmost trouser leg in the picture (our left, not theirs). -- Please reply to: | "Any sufficiently advanced incompetence is pciszek at panix dot com | indistinguishable from malice."
