Might as well add a bit of life to this old thread...

I'm apparently (at least partially) responsible for all the cloudy/rainy weather lately... There's an old rule of thumb in amateur astronomy that every new telescope purchase brings clouds, and apparently the same rule applies to cameras as well. I just last week received my new Canon 350D and Sigma 17/70 lens, and have had to stay indoors and read the manual instead of using it!

Fortunately we've not had flooding where I am (Louisiana), but we've had lots of clouds and rain. Maybe if we ever get some clear air on a long weekend, I'll have time to drive somewhere "photographable".
