BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest Finalist   Frigid Light
Frigid Light
I was returning from shooting photos on the inland side of the pass where it is quite cold and happened to see this scene off to the side of the highway. I nailed the brakes, grabbed the camera, and managed to get 4 shots before the lights went out. As the sun dropped behind the mountains, the last rays lit up the ice fog behind these frosted bushes. This photo and one other made for a nice pano which I'll post tomorrow.

  Thank you, Kate & Darryl. Not to worry, Kate, the road had just been sanded plus I have 300 studs in each of my tires. I don't slide much, even on glare ice.

  Just GORGEOUS, Gary - I LOVE this one!! Great eye to see it, AND, great work on that shutter button to capture this beauty!! :o)

SO glad you managed to stop safely - with all those studs in your tyres you should, I guess!! ;o)

Like David, now I'm REALLY looking forward to your panoramic image tomorrow!! ;o)

Stay safe, Gary...and, ALL the best, from Phil and myself, for 2006!! :o)

  Thank you very much, Carolyn :-) Maybe you and Phil can gather around this picture and cool off a bit from all that summer heat down there. I hope you both find lots of great photo opportunites in 2006!

  Thanks, Paul :-) Did you happen to notice the small critter tracks? I didn't see them until I saw them on the computer. Just goes to show that despite the cold it certainly isn't devoid of life!

  Wow! thank you all for the nice comments!

Bill; there actually isn't any sky in this scene. The background is just more snow on the shadowy base of the mountain.

Murry; Its good to hear from you again! I've been quite impressed with the old Sony camera as far as durability goes. Its like the old Timex slogan. It takes a licking and keeps on ticking :-)
