Did you lose power, Bruce? We were fine in New Toronto. Hope your dad is okay.

That's a beautiful photo. Yup, the light is amazing. Along with great 
composition. 

Got out for a few shots but haven't processed any yet (except one taken on 
phone). Might post a few tonight. 

A dangerous but spectacular day.

Cheers,
frank

We had a few power blips here in east Mississauga, Frank, but
thankfully remained lit-up. My sister's place in Eatonville and my
Dad's place in Richview -- both north of you in Etobicoke -- lost
power until early this morning.

Dad's okay. In fact he went from near panic in his cold dark house to
quite enjoying himself at my place. He doesn't like to leave his house
and hadn't been to our place in years, but he was delighted to be
fussed over. Gandalf the Russian Blue adopted him and wouldn't leave
his side. :-) We delivered him home again a couple of hours ago.

Thank you very much Frank. Looking forward to seeing your take on
Icemageddon. ;-)

I spent some time visualizing this one before I went outside. I needed
a well-formed branch that was low enough that I could stand a black
reflector behind it. I used the same basic light as your crystal glass
except the overcast, drizzling sky was my softbox. I hope my stand and
reflector turn out to be waterproof after all. :-/

Thanks!
