Then why does Canon not make white camera bodies?
I would be interested in seeing documentation about white to reflect heat.
By definition, white reflects more light than any color, so that is a given. There is no photographic reason for a lens housing to reflect light.

Here's their explanation:

Expansion is what they say, although I'll bet it doesn't hurt marketing either! ;)

Noob question time, sorry if this has been addressed before. I recall reading somewhere that when taking long exposures (night primarily) that Image Stabilization/Vibration Control should be turned off to prevent blurring. I ask this because I was shooting the moon the other night with a 70-300 Tamron, Canon 60D (on tripod of course!) in manual focus, hand held shutter release, no wind. in some photos focus was dead on, in others blurry, random. f/5.6, ISO 400, varying shutter times. Could IS/VC be the culprit?

Sun wouldn't cooperate so the upper left is kinda funky, 5 degrees F, damn cold!

I like it the way it is, the uneven lighting gives it character.

Don't shot into the sun. Problem solved.
Unfortunately there was a bunch of junk in the foreground I didn't want in the photo, wasn't thinking about cropping it out later. :-(

Any suggestions on how to reduce the green flare?

Boost the contrast and darken just a bit! IMHO

The highest temp in Minnesota last year was 102F and the coldest was -28F. That's a 130 degree difference.
I believe it, spent my youth in Minnesota (Coon Rapids, by the river). Fond memories of going up to the family farm in Herman, MN and jumping out the second floor window into snowdrifts, it was only a 4 foot drop! :D

Haven't been to Carpenter's Falls, will have to check it out! One of the first places I want to hit when it turns green again is Watkins Glen Park, plenty of great shots to be had. Taughannock Falls is definitely best in the fall, the color really "pops".

Hello from Ithaca, just joined a few weeks ago, hoping to contribute lots of Macro shots and waterfalls. Everything is kinda blah now but should get some nice shots to share once the ice forms.
That's a nice shot of that Coyote!

Beautiful, just the right amount of play off the water.
