Learning Nature Photography: Photo Opportunities Arise When the Weather Changes

Photo: Aspens Changing Color, A Fall Snow Storm in East Vail

East Vail Colors changing in the fall and a recent snow

One of the best lessons i've learned is that changes in weather bring about the most dramatic photo opportunities.  Fresh snow, a recent rain, a dust storm, a rainy day to produce a rainbow.

This image caught me off guard one day.  I was driving the interstate over Vail Pass and saw that there had been a recent snow, and that some of the Aspens still had their leaves.  I stopped and took a dozen road-side shots.  This was my favorite!   The image was captured in East Vail, along Interstate-70.  It was captured to JPG on a Nikon D100 with a Sigma 70-300 lens without a tripod.
