Thanks Frank. I didn't go out to shoot the pond. I was looking for
birds and had my 400/5.6 and flash mounted.. (I did get a nice lady
Cardinal.) But I saw the pier covered with snow and some snow topping
the branches in the pond, and I went back to my car for the wide lens,
filter and tripod. It ended up being what I consider my best shot of
the day. Which only goes to show that it's always a good idea to bring
as much equipment as you can.

I set a new personal record for filter extravagance and bought an 77mm

f11, 4 second exposure.

Your extravagence paid off, Paul.
That's a beautiful shot. Mind you, all the filters in the world won't
get the composition right (as you did).
Terrific!
cheers,
