Forgot about this one.
Was up camping last week just off the 410 hwy just east of Whisling Jack Lodge at Cottonwood campground freezing my lungs under a bright moon.
But this is what I like best about the clear winter sky.
You know it's cold when there is steam coming off this river. :eek:

:30 sec, f4, ISO800 24mm, shot RAW Processed in CS3. 10:30pm

Would not have guessed that was a night shot if you hadn't pointed it out although the stars are a bit of a hint. Very nice. Crisp and clear winter.

Thanks Judy, I am wondering if i need to darkin it up a bit as lately it's looking a little bright to me. Hmmmmmm.

very cool !!

Thank You!

Great shot. That cool crisp air is good for something.

Thanks, Yea, like freezing everything in camp solid. :D
 
yeah, if not for the stars, it'd look just like a daylight shot! i love the outdoors, but i'm not sure i'd be much interested in camping when it's 20 below!

I like the outdoors too, at 20 below it would require a cabin with a woodstove. A bathroom would be nice but a privy would do as long as it was not too long to the loo.
 
Nice work for the freezing conditions. I would like to see it a little bit darker so you get more of the night feel to it.

Yikes -20... shoot, and I was whining when I was over in the Yakima Canyon on sunday and it was a toasty +13 in the fog.

LOL... yeah, and make sure the seat's not brass! :D
 
I agree Tony, going to have to try that.
I will repost the rework when I get a minute, my phone just started ringing off the hook with work, YEA!

Yes the loo in the morning was FREEZING, I was 3rd in line and the metal seat in the outhouse was painful :eek:

We did have a nice woodstove in our tent, plus a propane shop heater, barely made it tolerable.
 
Yikes what a pain in the a$$. So this was in a outfitter's tent or a yert? Either way . . . a bit nippy for my tastes. Talk about cold batteries.
 
It was our 16x16 army wall tent, been doing it about 20 years.
It's fun and comfy when heated up. :)

Actually no Eric, this was the original 40's army tent my buddies got from their Grandfather. I need to build a frame for my new one.

Maybe I will just bring you one Shhhhh.
