Ted,
Enough Scotch and people will do foolish things. Been there. Done that.

However, when the water is coming down and the ducks aren't flying and
4 inches of rain fell in something like 12 hours I hardly think it's
worth being out shooting Christmas decorations if nothing else and
totalling a camera, film or otherwise... Unless!!!!!! You are being
paid big dollars to shoot it. Or if for fun, you're out in a scuba
suit with a Nikonos! :-)

Well, Harrison, I needed a break from printing a bunch of piezotone
prints that I've been working on until 3 a.m. most mornings and
your suggestion was just what I needed. So I offer the following.
they were made with a Canon 20D all with 70-200 zoom and some with
2X telextender as well. All shot in Raw format and converted in
Photoshop with little adjustment. Exposure was done using shutter
priority automatic and I dialed in about 1/3 stop overexposure.
Some were made with exposures as long as 30 seconds using the
self-timer to release the camera to minimize any shake. All were
also made at ISO 100 with white balance set to tungsten. Thoughts
and comments always appreciated. Thanks for a good idea.

Hi Carl,
WOW! Well done mon ami! Imaginative and creative time after time.
I think between you and Harrison you chaps are setting a pretty high
bar for others to aim for or try to beat. (A heck of a task at the
moment) ;-)
I had thought we would shoot the Christmas boat parade sailing
around the Victoria Inner Harbour earlier this evening, but the rain
was way to much for anything but ducks and fish. And it sure
wouldn't have been conducive to a healthy camera later! :-(
So we'll have a go at something another evening when the water stops
falling out of the sky. :-) I try not to do snow nor rain, sleet nor
hail! :-) Oh a damp street I don't mind for the nice reflections,
but falling on me and my gear? Forget it, as I've developed into a
fair weather photographer. ;-)
But your presentation is very motivating for all of us members to
get out and shoot Christmas lights for sure. Once again a fine set
of photographs.
