It's a genuine challenge for both the photographer and for me in getting their skills up to speed, many of whom have never taken pictures before even with film cameras, let alone a digital. The camera itself is just a cheapie and has specific limits and weaknesses. It took a lot of trial and error for me to be able to get good photos out of this model camera. Having exactly the same style and model here with me that was sent, I was able to immediately spot technical fixes for symptoms seen in the images coming in.

It's also true that some people just have a knack for taking good photos while others do not.

Anyway, these are from the Philippines. There are more available here than you would ever care to see but I thought you might appreciate these.

Manila proper or NCR?

Have you been there to visit? Do you have digital photos of anything Filipino?

Slang: So, have you ever seen snow fall from the sky?
Pinang: No but I'd like to. It's very pretty
Slang: Trust me, it's over-rated.

We're staring down a potential foot or so over the next several hours... ya'll could fly in.

We just missed it. It's a cold raw rain here. Yucky, but at least it's not snow.

The Occoquan river runs behind my house. It's raging today.

There's about an 8" step to my front door and the storm door couldn't swing out this morning because the sleet was too deep.

Fortunately not all over.
The door is at the intersection of two roofs, evidently the sleet rolled off both of them, rather than getting deeper, after some point.
