Darn ... looks like there are no current webinars and no way of getting the 30% discount ... unless I missed something?

I agree that you "need to document" :) I do the same thing with our little granddaughter (our first) as her mom and dad don't seem to take enough pictures of her for my liking! I think poor little Olivia almost doesn't recognize me unless I have that big black thingy stuck in front of my face. I tend to take tons of pics of her any time I can, and then cull them down to some good shots and present them to her mom and dad on a USB drive the next time we see them.

Welcome from a life-long Olympus shooter. Only non-Oly thing I own is the Panasonic 20mm and I love it (it staps on my EP-2 full-time). Look forward to seeing some of your photos!

Don't know the answer to your question ... just wanted to say how much I like your avatar :)

Welcome from a neighbour to the north (Calgary)! Don't discount outdoor shooting here during "great white north" conditions ... one of my favourite times of year for being out taking pictures :)

Look forward to seeing some pictures.

Winter is one of my favourite times to get out with camera (and we know about winter up here, as I'm sure you do in Michigan). Just watch out for condensation problems when moving camera from cold to warm ... and keep those fingers warm! With some care, I have been out shooting down to about -25 C (-13 F). When it is snowing, same precautions as rain, of course, as snow will melt on camera body/lens.

This morning is a good reminder of all this winter stuff for me ... enough snow over night to make the morning commute a mess. Not quite sure why people's brains just go completely blank when it comes to remembering how to drive in snow from one year to the next.

Thanks :)

Congratulations!

last Wednesday we had snow up here

To be perfectly honest, I prefer winter, so I would keep it here if I could. Just have to make mental note to get switched over to winter tires soon, find the snow brush for the car, switch to winter floor mats, dig out the extension cords for plugging in the cars, find my gloves/mitts (they always seem to disappear over the summer), switch to winter windshield washer fluid, etc. ... gee, I wonder if I can print this out as a checklist? :)

Thanks ... and to Bmac and Wahawk as well ... not sure I'll get around to sending individual thansk to all. Working late on a stupid proposal (the joys of being a consultant) so I should probably get at it and stop checking out UHH !

Thanks :)

Thanks :)

Thanks ... I will try to remember not to drop in fireplace, though winter is fast approaching (with those increased heating bills) so you never know how desperate we'll get up here :) Snow expected tonight, and tomorrow night is supposed to be the first "killing frost" (sub zero temp.) for the coming winter ... oh joy :(

In late August I posted a request for input on which fishing-related pic to submit to a contest wiht a "fishing theme" ... submitted three shots and this one was selected as the winner for the Prairies Region (one of 5 winning photos from across Canada) :) My very first win for anything photo-related :):)

Thanks again to all who provided feedback (this was the favourite of those I posted here at that time).
