Please share your snow/ Ice Photos with us in CR.

Scenario...snowstorm...using my dated 1Ds3 with a 300mm f/2.8 lens attached, shooting off a car
window clamp. I wasn't able to manual focus because I couldn't see my target in the live view
screen. Figured what the hey, I'm here...try the AF. Could not believe that it nailed it...Bang!

I boosted contrast in LR and used my normal sharpening set to 100 and merged to pano...that's all!
Full image and a 1000 pixel crop.

Don't get a lot of snow in East Yorkshire really. This is about as frozen as it gets.

Seeing as there is all this talk of a new 50 mil I thought I would give my old one an outing.

canon 5DII + EF 50 1.4 @f5 1/125 ISO 160

pdirestajr, I liked your New Kid. Wrong cammo for the season though ;)

This is from my cabin. There is nothing in this world that eases a mind more, than to come up here after a stressful week, put on skis and wander into this peaceful environment.

5DIII, 24-70 f2.8L II
1/100s, f/14, ISO100

Here's a couple of oldies: these were taken on Crib Goch, North Wales in March 1982 with a Nikon FM and (I'm guessing) a 24mm f/2.8 Nikkor. Film was Kodachrome 64.

The first picture is taken as we were traversing the knife-edge arete, and the second picture, which became known as "The Foot", was taken by me looking down at my foot with the 24 mil lens to show that it really does come to a knife edge. Just poking into the left hand side of the picture you can see Glaslyn, which is 1000 feet below.

Glaslyn is 2000 feet above sea level and Crib Goch is 3,000. Bit of historical trivia: in Welsh folklore Glaslyn is where King Arthur ordered one of his Knights of the Round Table to throw Excalibur.

Great facial expression on Crib Goch.

Yep, this guy pretty well crawled the whole way on his hands and knees, and it's nearly a mile long ! I still tease him about it 33 years on ! Got some even better facial expressions in other shots but need to scan the trannies.
