[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 128250, member: 9240"] It was the first day of spring, the wind was howling, snow and sun were fighting outside my window, and with as much work as I had to do I knew I wanted to get out and shoot. I figured the wind and clouds made for a great opportunity to try some long daylight exposures. I decided to head to Merrill Creek Reservoir, once of my favorite spots, to see how the wind whipping across the water would look at 3-6 seconds. On my way out to where I wanted to shoot I captured this, which gives you an idea of what the water surface looked like...

The sun was popping in and out, which made for some great light. Here's a pair that were actually shot into the sun. I loved how the snow in the northern crook of the stump is fighting to hold on as the temps get just north of freezing. The backlighting muted the colors, so I tried black and white and it really popped. I opted for a little more structure in the B&W conversion than in the color.
