Trying Not to Freeze While Photographing the Snow Moon in Rocky Mountain National Park

At the end of February I had a great idea for an epic photograph of the setting Snow Moon in Rocky Mountain National Park. Then frigid weather moved in with forecast windchills of -25° F at our planned location, and I decided it wouldn't be wise to expose ourselves to that for 2 hours straight. So I came up with an alternate idea that wasn't quite as epic, but minimized our time out in the wind, lowered that potential windchill to -15°, and kept us close to the warm cars. Experience that frigid morning with me from the warmth of your own home (or wherever you happen to be as you're watching), in this behind the scenes video from that February morning. Yes, that is ice on my beard at the end!
This video filmed with the DJI Pocket 2, and edited in Adobe Premier Pro 2021.

Very enjoyable. Nice to see another Colorado landscape photographer on KZbin.

Glad you enjoyed it! I'm learning new things and sharing the experiences in a new way, but that's probably good for me.

We LOVE RMNP. Never made it in winter, but daughter was married there. Awesome place.

Thanks! It's definitely a different experience in the winter, but usually still enjoyable.
