Nice catch, Aaron. That would be fun to capture more of with black and white.

The long dark days are just about upon us, that means there should be plenty of time to get in some PhotoShop (or PaintShop) practice!

Yeah, but I'd rather be outside. I think this winter might be a little cooler than it has been. Just a hunch.8)

I hear ya'...

I grew up in a sunny climate. To me, cold was temps in the 50's and you could just pop on a sweat jacket or a flannel shirt.

This climate up here blows! If I want snow, I'll drive up to it, and then go home...and any temps below 50 should be illegal!

When I was growing up I remember seeing -10 degrees on the thermometer and I think we will be headed in that direction in the next few years. I don't mind the cold but the camera don't much care for it.

My camera was almost too hot to touch during the airshow. It performed well enough, but I was really getting concerned when I realized the lens hood was getting soft. (It's high-impact plastic)

On the otherhand, you're in an awesome place for fall photos and should be able to score some really cool shots here in the upcoming weeks!

The air temp was 111°, the temps on the ramp were ranging between 128° and 130°+ (ground temps)

I was in a dirt area near the end of the runway (12/30 was closed to traffic for the show, the C-17 was parked at the head of it) trying to stay cool, and when the aircraft went up to do thier flight demos, I'd move out to the pavement (end of the the runway - 12), and you sure could feel the heat intensify!

Man, that was just a bit on the warm side. I really have to be careful in heat like that for it messes with my bloodsugars in a bad way. As long as there is a breeze and I keep fluids in me I do ok.

Thanks Aaron, it's a new camera and I was playing. Thanks to digital, you can take a 1,000 and scrap 999 at no cost.
