As far as close-ups, the lens was the DA 35/2.8 Macro so close certainly was an option. But I had not put in my contact lenses, still had on my glasses, and I just can't see fine detail through the viewfinder when wearing glasses. Which is why I use contacts in the first place. So, I had a passing thought about close-ups, but not seeing well for fine focus, plus the thought of kneeling in the snow and trying to handhold for a good shot, plus the urge to get more broad shots before the nice light went away . . . Result = no close-ups. On Jan 18, 2013, at 11:21 AM, Jack Davis wrote: > NO SHOES? BRRR! Nice shots, Stan.
