First impression is wow...
Second impression is well look like quite unrealistic...Never see a sky with blue tones like that and it seems there no shadows and it a bit oversharpened

I'd say I would prefer a more realistic blue and more shadows... Really sorry to say that... But that still a great image.

I've been doing this month's Single In challenge with the SMC DA15, and here are a few shots from today

Very nice! Sure wish I were there rather than here, it looks like such a lovely spot.

Thanks! It was only about -2C today, which is pretty mild

Thanks for your comment, very much appreciated.

Regarding sharpness, it doesn't look too sharp to me so maybe it's a monitor thing.

Weather forecast for Southern California below 6,000 feet: "Rain, tapering off and then possible snow showers. Little or no accumulation."

Yeah, right. Why is it that my yard looks like this and I can't get the Prius out?

So that you can take more awesome pics of your yard. This one is great.

Maybe the fault line slipped and your home is now at 7000 feet above sea level? Nice picture of the snow, by the way.

An atmospheric inversion has trapped fog/clouds between 3000 feet above ground and where I walk. Light sucks, so I post a photo from a couple weeks ago taken with the HD DA15mm shortly after dawn.

LOL! Only problem with that scenario is that the San Andreas Fault (less than a mile away) is a strike-slip fault rather than a thrust fault. So things move sideways along it instead of up and down. Or so I'm told.

This is not the first time the weather forecasters have gotten it wrong when it comes to the snow level. If they say 6,000 feet it can be anywhere between 5000 and 7500 locally. I was just happy to see the snow - it's our first snow of the season and a very welcome sight.

So that is how my day-off started. Here's another picture, taken several hours later, the snow is already starting to melt.



And this is how the day ended. Quite a bit different, don't you think?



I'm definitely enjoying this lens!
