I'm looking forward to getting to use the camera more one way or another. Heading to CA for a week tomorrow so maybe something there... Thanks, Jerry!

Keep them coming (especially when the flakes start falling but not when a tornado is bearing down on you next spring). Another great photo (with your previous camera): the image of fall color in Rock Creek Park, shot from beneath the bridge. Outstanding photographs.

The pics are basically as is from the camera with the usual levels/contrast minor work. Particularly the last in the set on WaPo are probably redder than normal as it was right at sunset and there were some pink clouds overhead helping add to the color. Thanks for the link, I took a quick look -- will do more in depth later today. Yeah, late day will help with saturation for sure though I’d say I’m a purist too.

Late day beefs up the reds! Anyway, you might like my time lapse photos of seasonal foliage changes at cpacker.org/trees.

You won't find anything that's considered part of the record prior to the 1870s, but there is some record going back further into the 1800s from multiple sources in/around D.C. at least. Then more rudimentary stuff even earlier from journals etc. The National Climatic Data Center is probably your best bet for historical data, though I am not particularly familiar with the site as a majority of my data is in offline files.

I'd like to see the record highs by year, and number of 100 degree days by year, for the DC area. Thanks! Can you direct me to the source of your data?
