Hi Bob! When I heard that the blizzard was coming, I wondered if you would have an opportunity to go out and record the event. Great results!

Yea, I had a sense of that, but tried to ignore it (too much pressure to perform, period, no less the guilt for not going pano).

[heh]

One of the satisfactions lately has been realizing what prime FL I prefer.   Shot mainly with zooms for a decade, but the last 2-3 years mainly with primes.   On a walk in a previous snowstorm with a 20/1.7 lens (40mm FOV on µ4/3) it suddenly was clear that I preferred something between 40mm and 24mm.   It took a lot of rationalization to turn to the Nocton 17.5/.95, but the 'discovery' has been very rewarding.

This was my Holiday/Thank you card this year, on the evening that revelation came to mind.   So when the next storm came I had to give it another go.





E-M5, Lumix 20/1.7



E-M5, Voigtlander Nocton 17.5/0.95

As much as I return to familiar places, I always recall "Never take the same photo twice'.   As much as I've tried, while it's always better or worse than before, it's never quite the same [g].
