Another entry in the short series on Winter’s Beauty, as tomorrow’s temperature might be positively Spring-like!

This image goes back to 2010, as I decided to take a little detour during my daily commute. The sky was doing beautiful things, and it came to me that there might be an opportunity at Rocky Pond in Boylston, MA, to get something worth shooting.
Luckily, I had my tripod with me, as I wound up shooting a series of 5 shots around a mid-level exposure to combine them into this HDR image. This allowed me to get the drama in the clouds clearly translated into the image.
I hope that you enjoy this cold shot!
Technical Details
Shot with a Canon EOS 1D Mk III and a EF 24-105mm f/4L IS II USM lens. The middle exposure settings were 1/30 second at f/22 at 160 ISO, and 4 additional shots were taken at -2, -1, +1 and +2 EV (Exposure Value). The images were processed in Photomatix Pro.
