A few days ago we had a branch weighed down with some snow fall in the front yard of our house. And so I recovered a pinecone or two for Christmas decorations. Here’s one of them photographed with the Sigma 30mm 1.4 lens.
Capturing Light and Then Some
Trying to get more pictures out there into the cloud.

More Christmas Tree Photos
Since I have an early Christmas present I couldn’t resist using it with my Sigma 30mm 1.4 lens. I therefore took this picture. And no, the head didn’t actually come from the above linked camera shop.
Actually I also checked out my Rokinon 12mm f2 lens as well (see below) , so this turned out to be a bit of a test of both the lenses and the tripod mount.

Christmas Tree Decorations
I have not had an opportunity to get out with the camera today, but we do have a Christmas tree in the living room and it’s a perfectly photogenic model.
And here is the tree in full.

VA Band Gig
The Seed & Feed Marching Abominable band provided entertainment today at the holiday party for veterans and their family here at the Atlanta VA facility. We did a short standstill performance and I believe everyone had a good time.
And following the indoor performance we placed for a few minutes outside.

Birds and Snow
We had an surprising amount of snow in Atlanta overnight and this morning our bird suet feeder was quite popular. Here are a few of the pictures that I took today.
Here we see bluebirds, etc
And now a Northern Flicker
And finally a Male Cardinal

Emory Walk
did
It was a pleasant afternoon for a walk last Thanksgiving Day, so I drove over to the Emory University Daycare center, parked the car, and then walked along the bus route to the main Emory University Campus. Actually I was initially heading to the old railway station Depot so that I could take photos for trover. This web service is particularly intriguing for me since it holds location based photos and these photos can also be displayed against a google map. Needless to say I was excited at the prospect of trying it out and as I’d already posted some photos of local objects of interest I decided to add photos from Emory.
And here’s a photo of the the Depot which is now a restaurant and coffee shop.
Here’s a photo of the student cafeteria which is certainly well lit by the sun which at this time was low in the late November sky.
I pressed on a little further that afternoon since I wanted to get a picture of the Emory Quad. Here it is.
