Find the ptarmigan
Well hidden in the middle of a tiny snow storm. I had this shot in mind before I saw it happen. I was very pleased because of the snow and strong wind. Otherwise it would not have worked out.

iso 200 1/100 sec. f5.6

Great! I love these subtle shots where you have to think a bit before you realise what's there. Of course there was a bit of a clue in your title. :wink: No wonder you got cold there.

Very effective shot. How long did it take you to thaw out afterwards?

Thanks guys....

@David....Walking back down to the car warmed me up very quickly. The problem was my left hand. I always rest it on the lens foot for more stability. Skin on iron for a long time is bad for ya :biggrin: I had to choose - Getting the shots or warm my hands.
