My plane was heading east, so this clearly shows the windward side with snow and leeward side all dry!
I love long exposures. They're fun :)
I totally disappeared from the shot but there my silhouette is hiding in the glass of my lens XD

For an old game, and a console port, its not bad looking ^_^
Wanted to get a proper splash shot. Close up filters +1, +2, +4.

Early season lake effect rain and snow vents see the "snow" portion of the event taking all the glory, people often don't really see the effects closer to the lake.
This photo was taken near Minesing which is about half way between Wasaga Beach and Barrie. This was the transition zone between rain, ice pellets and snow. Closer to the lake the precipitation was building, little was falling but what did make it down was almost purely rain, further inland it was a mix of rain and ice pellets.
In the photos you can actually see some of the accretion on the ground (bottom right). But what makes this photo so interesting is you can see the supercooled cloud bases lower and begin to produce snow as opposed to rain or ice pellets if you look from left to right.
Basically as the convective rain bands moved inland and the freezing levels lowered with distance from the lake couple with further cloud cooling, eventually the convective graupel/rain/ice pellets would be mixed out and dumped (about where I'm sitting) and the precipitation would fall all as snow further east in Barrie and closer to highway 11.
The village of Debasso is currently threatened by one of the world’s most neglected diseases, podoconiosis (podo). Podo is a debilitating foot disease that is caused by living barefoot in volcanic soil. It results in massive swelling and disfiguring of the feet and legs, and sufferers have difficulty working or even walking. In Debasso, poor residents who cannot afford shoes are consistently exposed to the region’s irritating soil while working as subsistence farmers. As a result, as much as 5% of the village’s population suffer from the disease. Sadly, the stigma associated with podo is so severe that many who have it remain hidden in their homes for years, allowing the disease to progress and become more disabling.
This project will allow a rural health clinic that is working to treat podo to more than double the number of podo patients it can treat in Debasso and its surrounding areas. The clinic is supported by the local Mekane Yesus Church, but it reaches out to all podo sufferers, regardless of their religion. It currently is the only facility in the area that is working to treat and combat the spread of podo.
The project will fund the training and equipping of eight Podo Agents, former patients who have been selected to work to locate and assist isolated podo sufferers. These Podo Agents will be based from the health clinic and will work to identify and teach 140 people the basic methods for treating podo. They will also provide new patients with the materials and custom shoes that are necessary to improving their health. Large-fitting shoes for the patients will be made in the clinic's workshop that will also be funded by the project.
With proper treatment, these 140 patients will be able to return to their work and rejoin their community within several months. The project will finally also fund the establishment of network groups of podo patients to provide patients undergoing treatment with a source of peer support.
I thought I would post this up as it seems to be some interesting effect of using the P6000 with small apertures and in this case f6.5 seems to give a starburst effect to any hotspots. I observed the same yesterday when shooting a landscape with the sun in frame - a not too unpleasant side effect. At f3.9 this effect completely goes away.
This image was shot in the new Nikon RAW format and processed using Apple Aperture.
It was disorienting wading through these dancing rings in my front yard... dancing because there was a light wind moving the trees.
