Blizzard Produced Good Opportunities

So, we got 11 or so inches of snow in a 24-hour period. That's not bad, really. I've seen, and been part of, much worse. It should come as no surprise, then, that while the rest of Oakwood seemed to be cowering in their homes, safe and warm, I was wandering around the neighborhood with the SLRs soaking up all the photons I could. It was a little chilly, but it was worth it.
I was unhappy with the N8008s and the propensity for it to misfire and leave me with up to 10 unexposed frames on a 36-exposure roll. It was pretty cranky out in the 26-degree not counting the 40-mph wind weather. That's OK, what I got was pretty good. The picture attached to this blog is now up on FotoTime and represents a first for me. Sad to say, in some ways, but happy in others -- this is the first image I've decided was perfect the way it was, straight off the scan of the negative. I had two specs of dust that needed to be "loved" out of the way, but there were no tonal adjustments, no sharpening, no noise reduction...nothing. I was pleased.
