  @ CitizenD - nice lines. I like it. 30s, huh? hmm. . .

  thanks !
  
  Yes, 30s, indeed ; the difficulty is to create decent ligthing down there. This is some sort of cave and there is no light at all; we must thus bring our own and can only use our small equipment.
  we (my co-explorers and myself) try to keep the iso very low so as to limitate noise as much as possible.
  we keep the camera noise reduction program activated (very efficient)
  we also try to hide the candles from the field of view to prevent "burning" some areas
  
  Though it is not the case here, we sometimes also use led headlamps and just walk across the scene so as to light big volumes. The long exposure time prevents from seeing our body "ghosts" on the final picture.
  But there are 2 disadvantages here :
  - led light is usually too "blue" and does not reveal the actual color of the stone.
  - mixing led and candle/acetylene creates a lot of white balance issues
  
  Not sure what technique you guys would use, but I would really like to hear your advices !

  Predictions here are 50 to 70 inches, which is probably BS, but we have 5 inches by now.

  You folks in the northeast play it safe with the storm now, y'hear! Send us some cool (figuratively speaking) pics when you get the chance.

  Damage in MA is pretty bad, definitely worse than the hurricanes in 11 and 12. Only mobile works right now. Will post some impressions when power comes back on. We had about 20 inches of snow, lots of trees came down and caused damage.

  Nothing much to do- had fun shoveling today. Outside was a bit of a mess, played with the D7000 a little bit.
  
  Decided to have an indoor photo shoot of the FM2 with the D7000.
  
  But I haven't had them together before.
  
  So, Mr. FM2 welcomes the D7000 to the family.

  With all the snow talk, I opted for a Spring upload. Taken a while ago with a d80 and 60mm macro. Rosemary. Composite of 17 shots merged with Helicon Focus. Note there's even a little bug crawling on the pollen (anther)
