There's also a sideways 8 up there for infinity; if you're trying for a distant peak, set it to that symbol and you should be golden.l.e.s.terhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07251693119393681714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8402313340510847215.post-83432337271220818142013-03-07T20:10:48.281-05:002013-03-07T20:10:48.281-05:00Also, 9 days now.

I assume that means all the way to one side, but I feel like I'm missing something. Help?

Tips would include a rubber lens hood (cheap) and taking off the autofocus.<br /><br />As much as I hate a long winter, eight days of snow sounds awesome.

Nothing major (except for the 2 feet last week), but damn!<br /><br />Thanks. Snow shots are tough because 1. the lens gets wet and 2. often the autofocus goes to a snowflake.<br /><br />Any tips?Redshirthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05169722874358288378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8402313340510847215.post-3745466341423212292013-03-06T10:40:46.734-05:002013-03-06T10:40:46.734-05:00Gorgeous shots.
