River Snow Trees [Contest Winner Pool February 2006 Catch All]
Uploaded: February 27, 2006 10:04:33
f/9.5, 1/180s, 150 mm, ISO 400, in snowstom at OLP--Onondaga Lake Park, Liverpool, NY. Evening. Part of my "Off Season" Series.
Hi Everyone, I'm finally home! But my PS isn't working and I had to revert (ugh!) to an earlier version (7--I'm so spoiled--dang!) 7 won't even open raw and I've ONLY been shooting in raw!
I will begin catching up commenting, but it will take a while, as I have floods of snail and E-mail etc, as well as unpacking etc. But I WILL catch up! Mary :-)
