Canon EOS 5D, Shooting Date/Time: 12/21/2008 12:07:50, Shutter Speed 1/100Sec. Av F11, Evaluative metering, Exposure Compensation +1 1/3, ISO 400, Lens: EF28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM, Focal Length: 28.0 mm. Hand held while freezing to death! Full frame and sized for a 12x18 print. And it is crisp and sharp on this end too! Very minor work flow. Some RAW contrast, curves and slight levels.
We went to Portland Headlight and just back. The Nor'easter was early. The storm arrived at 9:30 am and dumped 12 inches of snow by the time I got there. We will get 1 foot more when it is all over. The winds were howling at 40-50 miles per hour. Between the 13 degrees temps and the wind, it was mighty cold. My face, hair and ears had ice forming on them within minutes. About 10 minutes at a time was all I could stand for.
I moved all around the lighthouse to image it from as many views as I could. To say the least, I felt my best winter images were from today's shoot. Usually the lighthouse is crawling in photographers in this kind of weather. I was the only one. My wife, bless her, held her own and more a huge help keeping the wind off of the lens.
This has got to be the coldest storm in recent memory. The waves will be biggest at 6 pm due to the high tide and the peak of the storm hitting then. Don't you Florida people feel good about now after viewing this?
