Explored - Feb. 16, 2009 - Thank you all so very much!
Thanks Donna for the explore update!
Where:
Barrington Street
Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
When:
Near midnight after a snow storm last month
What:
Roaming the streets downtown just after a snow storm last month. I've tried shooting these street lamps with the lit wreaths around them a couple times. Once from the pedway above the street but never really liked the PoV I got. Anyway a couple buddies wanted to go downtown to get some snow shots. I crossed the street here with the camera setup on the tripod and just plunked it down, fired off a shot and ran before the truck ran over me! :-)
I mentioned it before but I just can't get over the cool starburst from this cheap "nifty-fifty" lens. If you own a Nikon, Canon or Pentax (maybe the others too?) go out and spend the $100 and pick up one of these lenses!
After always posting up pictures of fishing boats and villages I thought I should show you a little bit of the city for a change :-)
What I learned:
Wear a big coat to protect your camera from the snow when you aren't shooting. Also bring lots of little lens wipes.
You:
I appreciate all comments, tips, questions & faves! No need for glitzy awards, your "real" comments are much better!
