As 2013 draws to a close, I'd like to thank all those who share their images on this forum. I find them illuminating (no pun intended!) and inspiring. They challenge me to look at my own work more critically - and occasionally to despair at how much better I need to be to match some of your contributions.
All in all, it's a very satisfying experience. As for the pictures - WOW!
Thank you,
Bill

Couldn't have said it any better! I often come back to this thread and look through new and older pictures. Yes, WOW!
All the best

I couldn't agree more and would add that this thread focuses (pun intended) more on images and less on gear, which is refreshing (even though we may all be gearheads). Finally, GETDpi and this thread in particular have none of the contentiousness that is so common in forums.
Happy New Year,
Tom

Here's a shot from few nights ago. It comes with a story.
It was about 5 degrees Fahrenheit. Climbed a small peak that I knew had a good view in upstate New York in the Adirondacks. Got myself set up. Took some test shots on my IQ180 on a 645DF body using self timer and mirror lock up. Waited a half hour for the sun to hit the horizon. Then, as one can predict, just as the critical moment arrived, the self timer stopped working in a way I've never seen before on my back! So I did some quick trouble shooting to determine the problem and switched over to manually pulling the trigger as gently as possible to minimize shake. I'm guessing the cold temp. caused the failure.
Settings: ISO 35, f/22, 0.6 seconds, 2 stop grad ND filter, Schneider LS 80 f/2.8 lens

Another winter shot in the Adirondacks (upstate NY) from a few weeks ago, this one also at around 5-10 degrees Fahrenheit, same gear as previous photo. No gear failures here though. I'd been outside here for almost 2 hours, so the equipment was definitely very cold, but the self timer worked fine in this case.
You're a hardy soul. I lived in Saranac Lake for a few years; the Adirondacks do cold like very few places.
