White and red, originally uploaded by jiihaa.

Today I happened to take quite a few photographs with red and white colors in them. White is easily explained by the fresh snow, red perhaps because I was looking for colors, and trying to catch any which could make a photo. And indeed, red and white go nicely together.

Even though it was once again clouded, it was nice to be outside in the middle of the day. Length of day was today 5 h 53 min. The dark time is no longer lenghtening rapidly. Soon the days will start to get longer, slowly at first.

Update: The Canon S90 had been tested by DxOMark, here is a comparison with the Panasonic LX3. There is a clear advantage in sensitivity, but the color depth and dynamic range are about same. Pity about the usability problems with the S90, it does have an advange over the LX3 in the sensor.
