Not sure which Earth you live on but it has always been in March on this Earth.

Sabesh, that's pretty impressive for a toy camera :lol:

LOL, Thx! I was more worried about my kit zoom lens which I had to use for the skyline, but it turned out OK, I guess.

Hey man, good shot and PP'ing there. Looking forward to seeing the Panorama. How did the BULB shot work out?

this is the bulb shot :lol: it's a bit underexposed, so I had to convert it to b/w and bring back the lower half, thus I see some grain. The panorama is being processed right now, hopefully won't have to wait for another hour, but I am afraid I will, also photoshop doesn't always want to work on 32bit 500mb files :lol:

Joking aside, that micro 4/3 is very impressive, I guess it's all about the lens you're using

Funny enough, today I ended up in Casa Loma, another hundred of photos to go through :roll:

Wow, not bad for bulb! No wonder the water has that nice texture. I've gotta try a bulb shot next time for water scenarios. Not sure if my lil' camera has that feature, Hah.
