Thanks Kerry.

I'm not sure if you remember but you and I had discussions about the D-70 Vs the E-1 and I told you I was planning on selling the D-70. I got to thinking about it, and I decided to keep the D-70 and work through its shortcomings. I'm glad I did. The dust still drives me crazy, but I'm learning to deal with that too.

Yes, I remember. They all have shortcomings, I don't care what camera you use. It's the photographer, not the camera. :-)

Those are better than just snapshots. But I think in the second one I would have cloned out the two black objects in the center of the picture and the sign in the lower right to make them great snapshots.
 
...but good pics.

I would realllly love it if the gate was closed on #2 ;-). Nice composition though

Nice shots. I don't get many snow pics in south Florida. Is the second picture tilted to the right slightly, or just my eye? It's one of my problems when I do landscapes, and I don't often. They always seem tilted slightly one way or the other. The house in yours looks to me like its tilted to the right. Can't tell if the gatepost is perfectly verticle or not. It's too short. I feel apologetic for being so picky. Just asking.

I think it is now that I look at it. Not sure, that's why I call them snapshots. I saw the scene, and I just grabbed my camera and took the shots from the best angle available. Thanks for pointing it out though.
