Rick,

Grat pictures, I especially like the second one!

Question: It really looks like a snow storm, and you describe the weather conditions as a "blizzard" yourself, did you somehow protect your camera? Weren't you afraid the snow/wetness could harm it?

Thank you Morris. The locals probably think I'm crazy running
around in a blizzard taking photos. ;-)

Hi William, nice snow pictures - very good compositions. Second shot is like taken out of a Christmas Disney production!

Second picture WB is a bit cooler that first (bluish). I guess that if you correct it on PS, it will look even better !
Thanks for sharing and a Happy new year for you too !

Both images taken with Nikon CP990 - Aperture Mode F/5.0 at 170 sec

The new snow was 6 feet deep in places.

Happy New Year

I keep the lens cap on and the camera protected inside my jacket until ready to take the shot ... all the exposure params are preset. Then you just yank the camera out, slip off the lens cap and fire. Where possible you try to keep the wind to your back. For the hut shot though the wind was a bit in my face - couldn't get a better angle. You can see the snow/sleet going sideways in the image. ;-) Only had time for one shot as the conditions up there were getting more dangerous by the second.

Here's another shot I got as we came off the mountain - couldn't beleive this woman was out working in those conditions. My cousin was driving the Suburban and I hung out the window to get the shot.

Thank you for the kind words Paulo. I deliberately set the cold tone in the hut image to enhance the feeling I had from viewing the original scene. Cold, windy and dangerous. The original exposure was dead gray. ;-)

Thanks for kind words Mark. These were taken at the top of Immigrant Canyon, Bear Lake County, Idaho at about 7400' My cousin and I decided to go out and see what images we could capture of the storm. This area is as dangerous as it is beautiful - lives are lost up here every year.
