Another Cold Day

I think we’re supposed to get up to 8 degrees today

This is beginning to get a little old…

Is it about time for Spring?

Waiting for Summer

I'm keeping the Crossfire out of the snow. I shot this using the Canon G9 with the preferred color picker. Not much to report on today, shoveled the walk, had some Hennessy, and then dinner with Kimmy at the Good Table.

I had a problem with my AntiVirus software and had to uninstall, run registry editor to completely remove , and then reinstall. About 3 hours but it's working great now.

I posted a good picture of Mom on Walgreen's website that I took with the Sony DSLR A350.

It turned out pretty good! Used the SAL18-250 lens at 35mm at F/4.5 at ISO-400.

Will try to get some more snow pix tomorrow..

More snow!

Well, it did it again. These are pix taken yesterday. We had a high of 9 below today and it's supposed to hit 20 below tonight. I'm just glad tomorrow is friday and the weekend is almost here.

Snow again tonight

Well, snow again today and again tonight. Then the temp is dropping to the below zero numbers.

I took this one from the car as I was turning into the drive. It looks like we've got 6-8 inches on the ground but it 's the light stuff so it blows around a lot.

It's getting a little old. It would be nice to get back into the 60's or 70's for a while, but I guess that's still 2 or 3 months away.

Testing new lense

Wow, this has been a day! Got another 2 inches of snow so far and it's supposed to do it again tonight.
It was kind of hard to do any photos today but I got out in between snowfalls.The 1st pix is where I do most of my computer related stuff and the other one is my other pc. I try to keep my graphic stuff on one pc and business related stuff on the other.

These are just some pix of some trees on the side of the parking lot at work.

The SAL 70-300 G SSL lense is doing everything I expected and the lense moves very quick and is so quiet you can't hear it focusing. I'm still getting familiar with the DSLR A900 but what I've seen so far is this is really a great camera. I'll try to get some more pix in as the week goes by.

Sony DSLR A900

 Well, another month, another year. We still have about 4 inches of snow on the ground and I' still learning how to use my new Sony DSLR 

A900. I've taken some good shots with it but am still playing with the ISO settings with different lenses with different lighting. 

 The Sony A900 uses lenses that are made for film cameras and I've been playing with the macro's.

  This was made with a Tamron AF28-200mm F3.8/5.6 with minimal lighting at ISO 800. 

 My Sony 70-300 just came in today and I haven't had a chance to play with it yet but will see what I can do with it this weekend. Looks like I'm going to have to start using the tripod for these. This pix came out at 35.7 mb in Sony's raw format. After converting and compressing I got a 13.4mb jpg at 6048x4032 at 350dpi. This was huge.

 At anything above ISO 200 the pix seems to pickup a lot of noise when doing the large format pix, but have only had a chance to use it in limited lighting situations.

 Sorry for the mess on my desk but will try to clean it up a bit this weekend and use some extra lighting.

 Will have more this weekend...
