Taken on January 1st, 2010 near Snowbasin in Northern Utah with a Nikon D40 at 1/50 sec, f/11, ISO 200, using Aperture Priority Exposure Mode, and processed in Lightroom 2.
I (Rob) spent the afternoon of New Years Day snowshoeing with the scouts. We had just come off the mountain and found ourselves in a large meadow. The snow stopped falling and the clouds pulled back a little revealing just the right amount of the mountain for me to make this picture. I didn’t wait around all day and just happened to be in the right place at the right time. The extra diffused light caused by the filtering quality of clouds and reflective nature of snow on the ground made this a very easy exposure to make.
There isn’t much more peaceful than sitting or standing in the middle of a snowstorm in the mountains. The snow particles in the air really filter out the background noise providing near silence. Awesome. Of course the noise from a bunch of nearby scouts isn’t filtered quite so easily. :)
