Nice shots, I especially like the grains of snow. Is there a reason you shoot on ISO 200 so often?

Thanks. ISO 200 is the sweet spot for that imager.

Thanks. ISO 200 is the sweet spot for that imager. Interesting. How do you calculate that? Or is it trial and error?

From the manual :) But confirmed with use.

First shot hides what's underneath in a subtle way. Pretty cool.

I love the texture you got on that shot. Here's a similar one, although I didn't do nearly as well with the grain.

Tomorrow you can shoot the same twig :) It is 1/2 way between Jakes and the museum where the furnace is.
