This location is the Spray Lakes Reservoir, just up the hill from where we live. I'll definitely come back here and try some other spots.

Edit: Forgot to mention, I also used a 3-stop soft edge graduated ND filter.

Another great shot. I like the reflection off the ice.

It sounds cold morning. We had a warm spell here the last couple of days... I think it hit 60 F here today. I usually like the cold, but I am content waiting a little longer.

Here's another panorama from this morning... this time I shifted the lens up and down, and merged the two images together to create a square composition. The ice crystals in the foreground are just a few inches away from the lens, and I used a bit of tilt to get the whole scene in focus. This was quite fun... I can't believe I haven't actually tried panoramas before with my tilt-shift. Previously I've just been using it for single-shot images.

Another reason to get a TS-E. I hadn't thought of using it for Pano's.

Great shot Jonathan.

Here's a shot from Lake Tahoe with a little bit of snow on the Sierra in the background.

The water color and clarity is really nice on that shot. Lake Tahoe sure is a great looking place.

Nice shot WMF

Thanks! But it's easy to take good pics when you have a good subject.

A couple from tonight, amazing storm! Haven't seen anything like it for a very long time.

Those are great lightning captures. I especially like the second one. Well worth the clothes.
