Chisos Mountain, Big Bend National Park, Texas February 25, 1995
It's cold in central Massachusetts this morning, and the forecast is for even colder tomorrow -- probably not out of the single digits. Whenever it gets this cold, for some reason unknown to me, I always start humming the old Gordon Lightfoot song: "Ten Degrees and Getting Colder." And the image above makes me shiver a little remembering how cold it was that early February morning. It wasn't 10-degrees, I was in Texas and not Colorado, and the day did warm after a bit, but my hands felt like they were sticking to the cold metal of the tripod legs. And I had to fire the shutter about a dozen times to get it going in the cold. Ah, the joys of using a view camera.

crazy exposure! Don't need no HDR.
Yeah, no HDR, but makes me wonder how I would have handled that scene with the 5D2...mmmmmmmmmm (he says with smoke rising from the top of his head).
