<p>Happy Wednesday, Nikonistas, and welcome to our second weekly imagefest of the new year. Finally! The holidays are over, and we can all come up for air and get to some photography back out in the world. This past weekend found me covering an event in Pennsylvania, with a couple of very cold, windy, snowy mornings. But I had a chance to see how the 70-200/2.8 renders out of focus frozen precipitation, or, snowkeh, as it's called. I found the snow artifacts to be interesting against this black Tennessee Walker and the event judge who was in the saddle all day. Brrr. Did your camera batteries hold up in the weather? Share a photo!</p><div></div>

<p>Happy WedNEsDay!<br>

It's a new year so I chose to try something new.</p><div></div>

<p>This is another from last week - out in the cold looking for sunsets</p><div></div>

<p>Trying out my new walk around lens. Because of the recent weather and work load haven't really had a chance to go out and about. Saw a group of squirrels have some snack and this guy was really giving my daughters a lot of attention.</p><div></div>

<p>Well we got 4-5 inches of snow here in Memphis Sunday night, so of course I had to grab the camera and run out and take some pictures. We don't get much snow here. I didn't want to take much gear since I was already going to be carrying a tripod and I didn't want to have to change lenses in the blowing snow, so all I took was my 28-80 G zoom. I got a few keepers. I didn't get much "snowkeh," however, since it was a 2.5 second exposure. More of a "snow fog" effect.</p><div></div>

<p>Hi Everyone. Great shot Matt!<br>

<B>Greg Kowalczewski asked me to post his photo this week for him.</B><br>

<I>For a little while I thought Roberta was "double dipping" this week, and then I realized that this image is Greg Kowalczewski's. So I changed the line above to bold font. -- Shun</I>

<p>Very good pictures everyone.<br>

Here is my post for this week: Reflections, NYC.</p><div></div>

<p>D50 with a 50mm. Why I still like the D50: Only six MP, but hugh pixels, no those puny pixels that come with modern Nikons; eyeglass wearers can see the whole screen (because it is so small); 1/500 of a second flash sync-very useful in daylight; 288 photos on a 1GB card vs only 180 on a TWO GB card in a D300; quiet, and it always takes a picture while my D300 tends to hunt.</p><div></div>

<p>Hi Everyone<br>

Hope all is well</p><div></div>

<p>This is a monastery called 'Stavrovounni' ie 'Mountain of the Cross' , perched on top of a 2000ft mountain all by its self. Its accesible via a winding road up the mountain, or in our case, if you happen to be flying by and going round it. Its so called because it supposedly houses a piece of the holly cross. I like the mix of the old with the new that the massive photocell on the side and a smaller one on the actual wall convay.<br>

<p>I had spent the holidays in Abu Dhabi last month. The weather was perfect - temperature in mid 20C, sunny skies and cool breeze. I had lived here for a few years a long time back, so it was interesting to see how the place has changed. This is a photo of Emirates Palace hotel at sunset.<br /><br /> </p><div></div>

<p>Another shot from my vintage portrayal of the Seattle Monorail. Shot 3 weeks ago in an attempt to return to 1962 when the World's Fair opened in Seattle. Nikon N8008s w/ AIS Nikkor 85mm f/2. Ilford Delta iso 3200, yellow #2 filter.</p><div></div>
