Early March and around 10¡F means you get to shoot almost by yourself :-)

Ups! are we not suposed to post stuff taken 'out of state'? if so... sorry!!!

Enrique,

You are welcome to post out-of-state images here at CANP. No worries. To qualify for the CANP Cover Page though, the photo must be made in California. :wink:

BTW, this one is gorgeous. I am specially drawn to the foreground.

Regards.

Enrique,
What a nice shot - it brings back memories of some very cold winters I had there (-10F and colder). I like the mysterious shapes protruding from the fog above the Snake River - I keep going back to them to try and figure it out....What is it/are they?

How did you keep your hands warm while shooting?

Hi Michie, the diagonal lines above the fog are lines in the hill side.

For my hands I use a pair of thin silk liners and a heavy insulated glove (mitten style) I also keep hand warmers in a jacket pocket. I wear the thick gloves over the thin ones when I'm not using the camera.

Argh! Niiice.

A question of personal taste, I would've cropped a lil of the bottom, say till the snow patch hits the bottom of the pic, that is if you need a less tall photo. Otherwise I don't see how you could have framed it any other way. LEt me recap: Niiice. :razz:

I would prefer to crop the foreground.It is competing with mid and background.

Having said that, it is spectacular from the sanke river, upto the background. Little increase of selective saturation may be very pleasing to my eyes as well (those magenta in the sky).
