This morning after just over 7 inches fell overnight. Now about 12/13 inches on the untouched parts. First few shots with my now obtained Sigma 10-20.
The relatively clear road is courtesy of the local farmer and a very large bucket on the front of a teleporter.

I like the shots - I also like the effect lens distortion is having on the house, telepgraph pole and pylons in shots 3 and 4 - it adds to it for me whilst most would probably get rid of it I like it
K10D, K5 plus plenty of clueless enthusiasm.

Cheers Stuey, it doesnt bother me rither. Maybe I could have cropped or cloned out the tigs at the top right but that doesnt bother me too much either, just put them on for the view of the weather.

Goodness. We've got off very lightly over here, Paul. There was a light scattering last Friday evening and that's it! Bitingly cold, though.
Best wishes,

Andrew

Hi Andrew,

About 15 -18 inches on the virgin snow, although roads are fairly clear courtesy of the local farmers, (we are well into the country). we have had another 2 inches since 4.00pm this afternoon as well.......

That lens obviously needs a de-frost Paul, so send it over to Oz for a while...

It's a good set all round Paul. My favourite is the black and white conversion, very well done, but I think the weakest is #2 where the compositon lets it down. That telegraph pole does nothing for the view.
I like the way you have controlled the blue cast in the snow, best done in the colour version of #3, but not so successful in #2. All these winter scenes are a good record of our early winter in many parts of Europe.

I like the mono one, as Gareth said, it would be even better with a bit of work.

If your farmer has a teleportation device, why's he hanging around in Lincolnshire in that weather?

These may be a little better.
