I don't usually like to shoot pictures this time of year, except for birds and other animals that might come into the yard. The land scape gets pretty drab this time of year, but I got a new camera,the sale was to good to pass up. Today was a beautiful day temp in the fortys, most of the snow is gone for now.
So I took a hike into the woods, and tried out 3 lens, 18-135, 55-300 and a 60s vintage 55mm 1.8 manual lens I'm impressed with this camera, nost of these pictures are jpeg right out of the camera. The last pictures were with the old manual lens, and they were taken after the sun had set.

Excellent shots with your new camera. I like them all and any time of the year is great to take pictures.

55-300mm?
Must be a Nikon DX body, either that or a Pentax? Did Pentax have an 18-135?

thanks dan, when snow covers the ground there is only so many snow shots you can take. I focus more on birds and wild life during the winter.
