Hi everyone

This is sort of a test to see if the Picasa Web Albums work. I took the pictures during a terrible snow storm we had in Denmark this february. I used my D50 and my newly acquired Nikon 18-200MM VR lens. Boy what a lens >8]

Keep in mind the weather was terrible, so i had little time to do some proper composition. I just drove my car around, jumped out made a few shots and then getting the hell back in to get warm again :) Most pictures are taken directly from camera, few have had limited color correction.

I am very impressed with the performance of the D50 and the lens. All shots were handheld, it was like -9 degrees Celcious, very windy and snowing heavily. Both camera and lens works absolutely fine today.

Here take a look for yourself:

Let mek now if you can view them.

PS. The first 3 shots of my car is taken from the same spot through my appartment window. Just to give you an idea how awesome this lens is :D

PPS. The nice colors are due to ease of white balancing. I just had to aim the camera at the snow to WB, and then voila :) I guess it turned out so good because of the relative large area it could collect WB info from.

The Stabilization seems to work well but you should still consider uping the iso to get more stable shots. Nightime photography is great with a fast enough lens, especailly when you can even stop it down to get the bokeh highlights to turn nto hexegons
