thats heavy wet snow if your going to get lots I'd guess there will a few power outages as the snow drops the lines

RabidAlien · Dec 24, 2009

Yeah, I figger Texas isn't quite as ready for heavy snowfall as you are, but its coming down now in very small, fine pieces. Kinda like a snowy fog almost.

Oh, I plan on it!

Great shots RA, looks your having a great time with that camera. I have that Sigma lens, you will really like it for those faraway shots that you miss.

RabidAlien · Dec 24, 2009

You like the lens? I haven't gotten it yet...these were taken with my wife's little point-n-shoot Canon digital. Great camera, but most of the zooming involved hoofing it across the street in the driving snow to grab the pic! That's "old-school" zooming!

Gees, I can't believe Texas got more snow then we did!!

Great pics!

Gotta love at least a little snow for Christmas!

Looks like Texas is having some real rough weather, my sister lives in Lufkin, and they had some extreme weather last night...tornados and heavy winds mixed in...

I really like the shot of the fence with then snow, and the tree on the left side. I really like the lens. I used it for my moon shots and some birds . I haven't used it a whole lot yet., but I like it so far. 8)

That section of gate is part of the fence between me and my neighbor's house, he's got a butt-load of honeysuckle growing on his side (unfortunately....I'd dearly love to get rid of the crap!)....it climbs up several small trees, gets itself wrapped around the power lines, and plays host to some vindictive poison oak. But it does look good when coated with snow!

One of these days, I'll get that lens! Has the weight ever really been much of an issue for you, Ontos?

ontos · Dec 26, 2009

The weight hasn't been a problem, if you use a tripod get a good sturdy one, the cheap ones wobble. I hold the lens toward the end of the barrel, ( a lesson from Eric), it works great. It comes with the tripod mount. Good shooting mate. 8)

The big blizzard of 2-11-2010 (yay, Global Warming!):

(btw...not sure why there's a thumbs-down up here...I love snowy/rainy weather!)

Heinz · Feb 11, 2010

Very cool (sorry!) shots man!

I really like this one actually.

vikingBerserker · Feb 11, 2010

I have to agree, that one really looks pretty dam co..., um great!

Aaron Brooks Wolters · Feb 11, 2010

Great shots RA! With Hienz and VB. I like that one to.

evangilder · Feb 11, 2010

I liked several of them. But damn, that looks cold!

GrauGeist · Feb 11, 2010

I like that sign: "Rufe Snow" and if that storm keeps up, you're gonna have "Floor Snow" when the Rufe gives out!

Cool pix tho...stay warm and safe!
