First Snow

I finally got out to shoot some of the snow we got a couple days ago, been busy with school finals and work. I am looking for C&C on these, specifically exposure, white balance and composition if you have any tips. I found almost all the shots wanted to be really blue out of camera, not sure I fixed them well enough. Also if you have any feedback on the B&W conversions I would appreciate it.

I don't have any filters for my Tokina 11-16 yet so the skies are pretty blown out in the shots where I left it in. All were taken with the Tokina 11-16 on the 40D. I LOVE this lens. It's my first UWA and I absolutely love the shots I can get with it.

1.) Updated with a better edit.

i really like 6 & 8 nice shots.

Thanks!

Very nice; I think the parts of the trees showing in the first two are distracting - when I crop the them out I like these two much better. I am looking at either the canon 10-22 or the tokina 11-16 for my next lens - still debating?

Thanks. That is a very good observation. It does look much better cropped as you say.

Also I will vote for the Tokina for your next lens since you have the 17-40 to match up with the focal length. That is the same lineup I am going to have once my 17-40 arrives.

Nice set! I couldn't resist, however, to play with #1, because I know it has something more than what comes through...

Hope you don't mind...
