Hopefully - that's it for the day .

Cleared some more - there's room to get the car out of the garage and out onto the road .

I've salted the cleared area

Now for a nice bacon roll - I'm doing no more snow clearance today - I ACHE

Lordy lordy

came in 20 mins ago after getting a chunk of the 'garden' clear so I could get out of the gate on foot - 6ins of snow everywhere [ and I cleared it yesterday ]

I've just finished my coffee [ I needed the heat ] and am going to have to get geared up again and re-start .

It's snowing AGAIN This is wonderful -- NOT

Snowing up here just about to have coffee then into snow clearing gear and make a partial clearance - just so I can get out of the house and get to the gate

Now got great big white flakes and it's heading towards a white out

URGH !

At this point I should be heading to Edinburgh [ my Church is there -- don't ask why ]

BUT we had snow overnight again and the sky is very snowy and I think there is a slight falling of snow [ not easy to see from inside ].

I've got another 2 hours to do in the garden later and I'm staying home .

Pending transfer of agreed amount - this Little Gem is being packed up ready to go to its new Master - who, I'm sure, will love it as I have.

PM received and replied to

Gwyn - I tried changing WB in Aperture - but didn't get anywhere very fast

IF I get a chance with more of the white solid precipitate I'll change the WB, before I start, to daylight .

I'll try and do several shots changing things in the camera first, but doing only 1 change each time .

One thing which actually did surprise me was that to get the aperture to f4 I had to up the ISO to 400 . I wanted to get it as far open as I could - maybe that was a mistake - but then I'm still learning .

I obviously chose the wrong thing for my first serious attempt - but these things happen .

Thanks guys

Some ideas there -

Yves

Now I should have thought of that - me bad and I have a UV filter for all my lenses I didn't think it was that strong at 8.15 am - but obviously was. The Master of that version is quite dark .

Even my glasses are photochromatic - so would have been pitch black while I was out - hmm if they are black I'll have to remember to put the UV Filter on

John

Reflection should have struck me - but it hasn't .

Hmm would a CPL deal with that or is Yves' suggestion of UV filter better ?

Andrew

you've just given me an idea - now I'm trying to dredge up something from my memory - I'll have another play over the next few days [ depending on the amount of snow shovelling I have to do



I'm am Machead - not using PSE etc - I've been using Aperture for about the last 3 weeks - slowly getting the idea of how to do things .

Watch this space

Even earlier than that if possible .

It would be fun to have a meet up here
