This weekly thread is principally intended for you to showcase your photos made with Canon cameras of all sorts: SLR, DSLR, Mirrorless, M-series, APS-C, film, etc. But any brand of camera will be accepted, including photos taken with your phone. We do enjoy reading an accompanying text explaining your photo and any special techniques you may have used. Comments and helpful criticisms on others' photos are also welcome: we can all learn something from each other. We look forward to seeing your contributions and new participants to this series of threads are always welcome!
A new thread for the following week will be posted next Saturday around 10 pm UK time.
Digirame and I will be active here and are sharing the hosting, but we are used to all joining in and commenting on others' photos.

Review of last week
Digirame took full advantage of the recent snow, with the luxury of an assistant to drive him around while he took photos! Probably because snow is much rarer in the pacific NW than in the central and north eastern parts of the USA, the roads were not cleared, giving us good views. He later showed shots of people playing with sleds, or sledges, as they are called in some places. It seems all the ducks gravitate to him! His weather quickly improved and it looked as if there had never been any snow. This attracted a heron, well camouflaged on the opposite bank from the geese... His post processing of the birds and trees photo was up to his usual very high level.
Photobygms also had snow and managed to photograph some lovely little birds, hopefully enjoying the cold weather.
Meanwhile, Steve had his Ozark Trail seat out to enjoy the small amount of snow he had! He also introduced a useful discussion of the principle of ETTR, which we continue to explore. Then the cats moved in for an early morning conflab in the mist -- shades of Macbeth!
Simplejoy continued to amaze with his creative closeups: I am running out of adjectives to describe these wonders.
Meanwhile, determined to capture something and get some exercise, I went out during the week when the temerature rose to a balmy 15°C for one day. The picture I took with my back to the Karlskirche showed the threatening skies, which never actually delivered. I also explored the amusing situation with station clocks around here. I will try to follow up this and other recent themes this week -- my phone predicts some sun in the early part of the week, but I dont rely on its accuracy.
If the weather is getting you down, why not surprise us with a shot of a local landmark -- either outside in the cold or indoors!
