- Description
-
Winter in Minnesota is a time for fun and festivals. The oldest and biggest of these is St. Paul's Winter Carnival, eleven days of outdoor activities, competitions, parties and parades. The ice carving competition in Rice Park is always popular, but temperatures above freezing last week have taken a toll. It was 11°F (-11°C) when I shot this; lengthening the button-push time to 3 seconds seems to have solved my problem of skipped exposures.

Good reason to travel to Houston, Texas or to Bath, England and have a class with hands-on experience on optimization :)

I'm still learning how to optimize the robot...

This is a scene that will never be seen in south Texas and to my eye, it is stunning. Even when I lived in Duluth, I never saw anything the likes of this. You nailed the exposure ... congratulations. Note: due to the slow speed on a 16GB memory card that I use with my SX110, I always have my button-push time to something slightly greater than 3 seconds. Again, an amazing GigaPan.

Very interesting subject.
