Hi Graham, Smashing good job under adverse conditions. Thanks for posting these as I'm a great believer there is always a picture if one applies their heart and imagination to the task. Good on you! Everyone is a big keeper. So a message to all the LUGGERS... there are no lousy days for shooting! Every day has something interesting to record if you apply your visual photo imagination. And in another way, if you come back and say >>>>>"it's lousy out, there are no pictures!" All this points up is a lousy excuse because you're a lousy unimaginative photographer. And for those of you who have never had to face a "Photo Editor" on the morning of the worst weather conditions you can imagine, and you arrive at the office without "Weather pictures" you are toast big-time! He'll have you out side all day looking for every conceivable picture you can come up with. Of course he'll be all nice and toasty warm inside and he wont give a damn if yer getting yer ass frozen off... he wants pictures. And if you don't believe me look at this effort by GeeBee as an illustration of what someone can do with imagination and fortitude in the best teaching set of pictures we've seen in some time. ted > To underscore what Sonny has highlighted I would not have left the house > with or without a camera if it were not for PAW on these days. > > Ice > http://www.geebeephoto.com/temp/Leica/Whiston_04.htm > > Frost > http://www.geebeephoto.com/temp/Leica/Earls_Barton_01.htm > > Fog > http://www.geebeephoto.com/html/l01.html > > Flood > http://www.geebeephoto.com/html/l02.html > > Storm > http://www.geebeephoto.com/html/l11.html > > Rain > http://www.geebeephoto.com/html/l19.html > > Flat light > http://www.geebeephoto.com/html/l08.html > > No light > http://www.geebeephoto.com/html/l06.html > > Go for it, you wont be sorry.
