Your right. But in Seattle, the weather changes every hour. This in in Belltown on Blanchard St. Cheers.
Kurt, hopefully this will warm you up a bit. I shot that same river a few months back, from almost the same angle. The difference being it was a LOT warmer then. This one's for you, buddy!Leif ... only another 10-12 weeks of snow?
We had a mild January thaw over the weekend that unfroze the river. But, temperatures this week should refreeze it.

Guess there´s a reason most people around here think highly of spring.
Interesting pix, Kurt. Thanks for sharing.Leif ... only another 10-12 weeks of snow?

Natural geometric distortion at 16mm. Geometrically what is happening is the visual sphere that we live in is being projected onto a plane. With very wides this becomes evident - the lens design choices are to preserve scale relationships and let straight lines bend (fish-eye perspective is the extreme case) or keep lines straight in which case scale stretches as you near the edges. The effect of scale distortion is illustrated in a mercator projection of the earth, where Greenland looks bigger than South America. In landscape orientation the stretching at the sides of the frame at 16mm is obvious but often not objectionable. Here in portrait orientation with the main subject near the edge it's quite noticeable. The WATE is designed to keep straight lines straight.
Jeff: Did you see any refrigerated semi trucks with Canadian license plates? Good looking snow. Wonder when the actual LR3 is coming out. Cheers.Time to liven this up with a new image. I drove 90 miles north of LA this past weekend to see some of the snow that fell in the mountains. Having spent most of my life in snowy climates, I really enjoy the LA weather, but every now and then a little snow is fun--especially if I can jump back in the car and in 90 minutes be back at home in 68F weather! Anyway, a simplistic image, all about texture. M9 + 50mm Summilux ASPH, f/5.6:
Apologies about the giant signature; I was playing with the LR3 beta and it didn't come out right.

Nice texture Jeff.
Lots of semis up there. That was taken not far from the Grapevine on I-5. Do you know the area?
Love the second shot.
I do. I also saw the snow there on TV. I was just thinking they'd be hauling snow up to Canada for the Olympics. They're a little short.
