Finally got our snow this week in northern Ontario!!!! Nothing better than red cheeks and runny noses! This is my son enjoying the snow and warmer temperatures! Hope they stay for our Boxing Day tradition of sledding!

Merry Christmas to all!

I am sorry for the previous post..I think I have it :)<div></div>

Hmm. Reading this over and now more confused than ever. Right now, hold on to your seats, I am using a Nikon D40X. I have outgrown it and need something with more, well everything.

I am willing to switch from Nikon to Cannon if the camera is right.

My main passion is landscape with portraits on the side. I shoot sports as I have children. So..with the two main uses being a bit different what of these two cameras would best suit me. From what I am reading..I would need the two of them. ACK!

I've always assumed that a great critique would involve the good and bad. And a description of those two so as I'm not confused.

I've joined this site, 5-6 days ago, fairly quickly realized that the way for photos to be seen is though the critique forum. To date I have received all of 2 critiques that are worth my attention.

I can absolutely understand, with such little time, why most feel the way they do.

Thank you all.

I am crossing my fingers and toes this will all come to me tomorrow as I am shooting. I really want this to go well. Will let you know!

<p>I could use fill (camera flash)..I was going to use the most out of the available light for most shots so as I didn't have to play with too much. It will be fairly cold that day (-17) so I want it to go as smooth as possible.<br>

I was going to go aperture and use the exposure comp button but if manual is the way to go I will. I guess I just alter the flash speed but keep the aperture. <br>

That is something else that I will be battling, the aperture amount. I usually only shoot one person portraits..this four will be tricky for me.<br>

My camera doesn't have auto-bracketing..(if I could have my time back when I got it!!!!) so that is another think, I'll have to manually take those shots.<br>

And now I'm rambling, sorry. Thinking of lots before I do it.</p>

<p>I will be doing a family portrait of for people this weekend. I've started a list of my poses I would like to do. My concern is with that it is outdoors in the snow..by the frozen lake at around 2:30 (sunsets 4:15ish).</p>

<p>Are there any tips one good give me for better exposures? I'm scared of either darkness or highlights.</p>
