I was impressed with the focusing ability and speed for the Fujifilm X-T10 combined with the Fujifilm 35mm 2.0 lens. I saw this low contrast scene with the light shadows on the snow and wanted an image. I turned the camera on with my index finger and increased the exposure with my thumb while I raised the camera to my eye. In my mind I was thinking I’d have to manually focus this scene because of the lack of contrast but this pair immediately snapped on focus. Yes, I am impressed. Stay warm
It is unusual for us along the Colorado Front Range to have snow on the ground for this long. Due tot he frigid temperatures there has been snow since Thanksgiving. This last snowfall of 6-8 inches was a wet one so it was a beautiful snowfall. Snow on top of snow.
I do have a request. I’d like to ask for input from all who care to comment on an addition to my website. At the top you will find a new tab called “prints”. This will link to my Fine Art America site where people can purchase some of my images as prints on several mediums and a ton of other products. I would appreciate any feed back on what you think or any errors you may find. Thanks.
Over the past 18 hours snow has been falling here in Colorado. We have between 6-8 inches of snow from the predicted 70% chance. Glad it was not 100% chance. Stayed home most of the morning then ventured out for a while later this afternoon for some exploring with my camera. Stay warm, it’s suppose to be in the single digits tonight!

I hope everyone has a wonderful and blessed coming year!
Instead of creating a list of new resolutions to accomplish in the coming year, I’ve decided to make a short list of resolutions I’m not going to do for the remainder of the year.
So, beginning at noon today:
I told you it was a short list. If you can think of any feel free to add them in the comments. I’m listening. Happy New Year to you.
I’ve walked by this leaf every day this winter. Teaches me there are times we need to hang on and other times we need to let go and allow life to carry us on. It just hangs on.
