As a photographer, I knew that sometimes bad, changing or shifting weather can be the ingredient or magic that can put a normal photograph to shame. I really wanted a little longer exposure to show the fast moving atmosphere crashing over the Grand Tetons. Shifting light and a shaking camera were killing my fleeting opportunity! I composed the various shots, started the shutter, and flew open my jacket like a sail to block as much wind as possible from the tripod and camera - exposing my T-shirted self over and over again to negative wind-chill temperatures. "Click" - "Yikes, that's an awful shot" - adjust, adjust. "Click" - blown-out... sunset over. I finally gave up as I could not feel my fingers anymore pressing the remote release shutter and hoped that it was not all in vain. "Event Horizon" was the photograph that almost was... not. Sony A77, Benro Tripod, EZ Leveler, Sony 24-105mm.
