Well down here in Louisiana, it's just now getting to be slight touches of winter, not really a firm grasp We don't get really cold (relatively) until February.
Here's one from the other morning, though. Was playing with the wee S95 and went for a 'macro'
Nothing much else from this year. I've got older stuff, sure, but I kinda figure the point of these threads is to stick with current shots, so that's what I do. Call it self-imposed motivation
(and besides, a lot of my winter older stuff is with a D700 or A850)
It never snows very much here in Oklahoma, but we did have a sizable earthquake this year, so who knows what the end of this year or the first of next will bring. here is one from February of this year.
Edd, super birds - those tiny little things are not easy to fill the frame with.
Stan, great series. I like the owl and the icebergs especially
Peter, i like the head-on shot of the seagull. Looks good in B&W.
From me, another of our local landmark. I think i was kneeling down in someone's back garden to get this:

We have one just like that! Oh...you mean the building, not the moon.
Helena has identified it, but what sort of building is it? The openings are interesting, but it's hard for me to guess the main function.
Edit: Momentary lapse of google awareness. Fun reading about it. Maybe someday I'll have a chance to visit.
beautiful glacier shot. I'm curious... why did you shoot wide open? I thought it was better to shoot landscapes stopped down a bit, but I'm an amateur at best... hoping to learn...
My girlfriend is on the SUNY Geneseo women's hockey club league and I am basically their photographer, they had a game on Saturday that I got to use my 70-200 II at for the first time. These were all shot with 50D + 70-200 2.8 IS II USM .
The girl in dark blue in the first picture is the daughter of James Patrick who is the defensive coach for the Buffalo Sabres.

Because, as I said, it was shot at night solely by the light of the full moon.The nearest point in the shot is several miles, and the 35L is sharp wide open. In reality, the camera chose all the numbers.
Lovely start to this thread, I'm sorry it took so long for me to discover it. Winter has been lazy and slow in our area, nothing too cold and minimal snow (though I shouldn't tempt fate). Hopefully I have something worthy of the collective in the coming weeks. Happy holidays to you all...

So I was bored and decided to work on my indoor composites. My parent's formal tree is simply gorgeous every year and 2011 is no different. Here are three shots that I blended together in CS5. Please let me know what you think. C&C even negative is always welcome as that's the only way you learn!!

Another reason, that John is too shy to mention His stars are nice sharp points and the exposure was 4 seconds. After 15 seconds or so, you start getting star trails, due to the rotation of the earth.
