Cold Weather Photo Duties

Third Flatiron, Winter Storm, #2. Boulder, Colorado, 2015 (Or maybe just “one third of the Third”.)

Socked in. Temps into the single digits. Snow fluttering down. Ice on the roads. Traction Law in effect on I-70.

Often that can be a good combination for some wonderful winter landscape images. Stormy weather is much more dramatic than plain-Jane, true-blue, skies.

It’s those single digits that have made me wimp out these past few days. I guess I’m still thinking with my Summer-Fall Brain and I haven’t yet adjusted my physiological-psychological thermostat to the reality that official winter is but three weeks away.

So, I turn to my cold weather photo duties:

–Rearranging, sorting, deleting files and images on the hard drive.

–Backing up image files.

–Printing out images that have been on my “To Print” list.

–Organizing my LLC paper files.

–Post-processing images that I had forgotten about.

–Combing through old files to see if I have overlooked possible good images.

–Preparing files and paperwork for contest/gallery submissions.

–And so on.

There always seems to be plenty of housekeeping to be done if the weather gods have made things miserable outside.

Soon, though, I’ll get accustomed to the new winter status quo and I’ll be back out there shooting. For me, it’s always much more fun to be behind the camera rather than behind the computer.
