Hello All:

Well, after being a silent spectator for a while, I went ahead and posted my first picture!

For the past week I've been trying to capture the idea of "cold" in a picture but without much luck. Until I grabbed a little Canadian flag I have at home and took a picture of it.

What better to represent cold than the red maple leaf of the Canadian flag?. Canada after all is "The True North"!.

Camera Model: Canon 450D
Lens and focal length: IS 18-55, 42mm
Aperture: f/5.0
Shutter Speed: 1/30
Sensitivity: 800
Post processing: some touch ups with iPhoto

Was trying to freeze all sorts of things to photograph them frozen, but nothing came out frozen as i intended !!. So went back to basics to something i was sure that would be cold to the core.

Well this is a first for me. I have certainly never entered a photo competition before - on or offline! Lets hope I haven't broken any rules.

Canon 450D, 18-55mm kit lens at 55mm, ISO100, 1/200s with built in flash. F/32 handheld. PS CS4 to de-saturate, adjust curves and crop. Thats it.
