Love those last snow shots, sparky. That lens isn't likely to see anything like THAT when it gets to me! At least, I hope not...everybody keeps talking about the fact that the LAST time we had a winter this warm, was just before the Blizzard of '93 hit in March.

That lens will see sunshine and hopefully several models whenever it finally lands in FL!

Love those last snow shots, sparky.......

When I got my D7000 last year, I was anxious to see how it handled sunlit snow. I just wasn't happy with my D60's results. Then it never snowed much after that. We finally got our first appreciable snow Saturday, but it was cloudy all day Sunday and again Monday morning. So when the sun started to peek through, I headed out.

Of course, by then a lot of nice scenes had been overrun by hikers & snowmobilers.

As am I. I can't wait to see the full potential of this thing. I've had two rounds with it. And both times I seem to have come up short. I can't wait to see some kick-ass studio shots, or some Joe McNally-type extravagant shoots. That'd be amazing.

Love it so far. Keep up the great work guys, I hope to add myself to your humble list once everything settled down on my end- if you're alright with newbie shots!
