So last weekend after Buffalo got burried under two feet of snow, I decided not to bail out on my planned trip out there and went along for a fun weekend anyway. It was fun first storm of the winter, a good amount of snow, trees down, no power to a large swath of the area.
This was my first trip with my new Canon EF 50mm f/1.4. So far I really like it. It allows me to take some interesting shots which I otherwise would have no prayer of getting.
Utility trucks camped out in our hotel.
