Fading light near Sisters, OR.

Well, now that all the ski resorts have closed down, I guess we can call winter officially over. Was hoping to get up one more time to the mountains before the warm weather hit, but we didn't get the chance. But the wonderful thing about photography, is there is always something to photograph, no matter what time of year it is. The only limit is your creativity!

But, back tot thinking about winter, I've been reviewing alot of our wintry pics from the last year or so, and thought I'd share some that haven't been published before. Part of why I'm excited to post these is that we also just upgraded to Lightroom 4, and it makes a big difference in developing photos, allowing more depth and detail than the previous version of the software (I'll post more on Lightroom 4 later). What this means practically, is that pictures that were too noisy or may have needed too much correction for me to consider as worth showing, can now see the light of day :-). Enjoy!
