Looking forward to seeing them.
Sweet! Thanks for the link. I got a really nice book for my Nikon. The guy is renowned and it's setup to help you take the best pics. He doesn't rehash what you can find in the user's manual, which is nice. Each picture presented shows what settings were used, so it's a good reference.

In Alaska it's pretty much "high noon or nuthin'!" during the winter. haha Otherwise you better get into night photography or wait until summer when the sun doesn't set, then take pictures all day AND all night! hahaha
