Very nice, Dave! They are all good, but that first one really caught my eye.

I like them all but the first and last are excellent IMHO.

I can feel the cool and transparent air of the winter from your photos, GG.
Nice shots!

Glad everyone likes my first shots with the new lens. It's taking some practice to get the "feel" of the 50-200, it handles a little different than the other lenses I'm used to using...

On Saturday morning (1/1/11), I went up to Whiskeytown Lake (a few minute drive from where I live) to check out the snow, and tried a few low light shots. It was really overcast and still snowing up there so I didn't stay long, since I don't have cables for my Scion...lol

Anyway, hope everyone's New Year is going well so far!

Cool mood on that shot, Dave.

A few days late maybe, but i am really digging the shot 4 5 from post #440. The train trestle with the fishermen below is my favorite.
Thanks
Derek

Good shot Dave! The lighting came out nicely.

That last shot to me is somewhat somber in a restful way if that makes any sense at all. I really like Dave.

Thanks for all the compliments guys and it's good to see you, Bill, haven't seen you in a while!

I've been having a blast with my new 50-200 and it's been on my Pentax since I got it, haven't needed to swap a lens for a shot so far!

The weather cleared up some last Sunday, so we went up and flew down to Red Bluff for lunch and then headed back up the valley for a bit. It was freakin' cold and turbulant over 15, but any time you can break the bonds of earth, it's worth it as far as I'm concerned

IMG 1: Mount Shasta to the north, our alt. was about 3 thousand.
IMG 2: Mount Lassen to the east with Redding in the foreground (That's the Sacramento River that runs through town) our alt. was about 26 hundred.
IMG 3: Sunrise on Shasta Bally (taken from work). Those are antennas on the peak coated in ram ice. Shasta Bally is west of town, overlooking Whiskeytown Lake (it's elevation is about 6,000 feet).
IMG 4: Sunset, 2 January @ 4:46 p.m.
IMG 5: Sunset, 6 January @ 5:02 p.m.
