Frosty Here Too

I haven't been out with the camera since Xmas, I was given the flu as a present, so with the forecast for today being 'frosty with sunshine', and the effects of the flu receding, I packed a few lenses and the K10D, and went for a walk in the countryside west of Edinburgh. Frost was there, but the blue skies never appeared.
Managed to get a couple of shot's before my fingers froze to the tripod, -2.0℃.
I thought these were the best of the bunch.

K10D + Sigma 105 - Fungi on a burnt tree stump - Manual - 20 seconds @ f22 ISO 100

The comedy duo in number 1 is great - got to give it to that bugs, he popped up at just the right time .

Love those colours in the last one - great contrast - and well worth 22seconds of your time. Maybe a bit soft though - unlike the 2nd horse photo which looks real sharp.

Been thinking about that Sigma 105, looks a good piece of glass.

I live on the westernmost fringes of Edinburgh and while we did get lovely bright blue skies yesterday it was early in the day - my garden pic in the other thread was taken in the morning. The sunset pics were taken around 3-4pm and the blue skies were gone by then but there were some nice cloud formations. I'd actually headed up into the Pentlands with the 645 and Flektogon 50mm but didn't use it because I can't fit grads to it yet (it has an 86mm filter ring) - fortunately I'd also packed the K10D and 16-45 and I do have graduates for that.

Nice shots BTW.
