Marcel's 2015 daily, weekly, photo gathering

[Marcel]

So I'll start this year with a picture of one of my pictures. The panorama was done with my late D90 and the 28-85 3.3-5.6 plastic $50 lens. This year I'm going to try to print a little bit more of my shots and spend a little less time on the different photo forums on the Net. But I'll be around don't worry. Resolutions are made to be bypassed.

Extremely cold outside, -20 Celcius (-9 F) so the cat is not at all interested in going out for a casual walk, and neither am I.

 

[Carroll]

That is one *smart* cat...and good looking at the same time!

 

[Marcel]

It's about time I get the Nikon out for a walk.

But very cold it is...

 

[Marilynne]

Doesn't look like anyone is using that boat Marcel. Will it crack from being frozen?

That's exactly what I thought Marilynne. I'll tell you in the spring if it's still afloat. But the river doesn't freeze too deep and it has plastic floats so I don't know. If I forget, will you remind me?

 

[Marilynne]

...If I forget, will you remind me?

Who's going to remind me???

 

[Marcel]

Who's going to remind me???

I'll remember that I have something to remind you, but will I remember what it was?

 

[Marilynne]

I'll remember that I have something to remind you, but will I remember what it was?

I have an idea - take a shot of it every day, week or month. That way, one of us will remember!!

Great Idea Marilynne. I'll try once a week.

Your cat portraits are always great.

The trick is to have her favorite toy just sitting on top of the lens.

A beautiful cat. Bill wants to know where she gets her hair done!

 

[Marcel]

At -23 C, I'm not going out with the camera so I took this one from the kitchen window.

Caught in winter:

 

[Marcel]

Not as nice as yesterday's, but I did get out of the car for this shot at -28 C this morning. And only had the X-10 with me.

 

[Lawrence]

Great shots.

BTW I complain bitterly - I mean really badly - when the temperature drops to 8 or 9 here. I guess I should be grateful.
I just cannot imagine living in such cold temps.

Just ask Jack and he'll tell you that we're a tough bunch.

Tough, but fair...

She's beautiful. I have a soft spot for calico cats. My one cat, Micah, is a diluted calico. Did you use on camera flash, off camera flash, or are the catch lights from something else?
