bright icy tree, originally uploaded by hewins.

Last week I went, with a bunch of friends, to Fette Sau, the awesome BBQ joint in Williamsburg for my friend Scott’s birthday. We had a great time. Good food, good bourbon, and an amazing cake. The weather was icy and not friendly that night and on the way home I saw this tree all covered in ice.

First day with a new camera. I got the Panazonic Lumix LX2 with the Leica lens (thanks, mom!) and I’m taking it for a test drive. So far so good. The first thing to notice is the aspect ratio of 16:9. Long! It can be changes though, which is an interesting feature. I’ll keep ya updated!

Not too shabby, if I do say so myself.

While I was in Sudbury for Thanksgiving, I took the camera and a tripod out to my parents’ back yard (my old back yard) and took some long-exposure shots. I like the way they turned out. This is one where I got the dogs to sit still for long enough to not be all blurry.

I’ve made a set that I’ll add to as time goes on for all the long exposure shots I’ve taken. Check it out.

This is where we’re playing tonight, originally uploaded by hewins.
