Driving into Winter

Here we see the first major snow storm of the year arriving at Snowmass Creek Ranch in Colorado this past October (photo taken over looking over the ranch gate). I am always so enamored by the change of seasons, and especially love catching dynamic scenes at the very moment it seems the next season is beginning.

Shot Notes: 6-frame HDR image that was a bit of an experiment. I bracketed both exposure and flash power on my externally held SB-800. I like how the flash helped pop the foreground detail and bits of falling snow to add some interest, so I will certainly have to consider trying this experiment again!
