It’s up to double digits now...10 degrees. ;-)

A classic to depict delicate beauty. So I see that cottonwoods don't always have to be draped in yellow to be beautiful, but your photographic window is much, much narrower. Glad you caught it, and thank-you for sharing.
I lost some of my appreciation for Cottonwoods when one lost a branch that punched a hole in my bedroom ceiling at 3 AM, but they can be visually interesting trees.

So beautiful. Where is Colorado did you take this?. I love going up to RMNP to take photos.
In Douglas County, due west of Castle Rock and south west of (the thriving urban center ;-) ) Sedalia.

I love this, it as exceptionally beautiful image.
I love winter photography. Unfortunately for us here in the west, winter seems to have past us by.
Thanks for sharing,
Mike

March is our big snow month so the Colorado winter isn't past us yet.

Well taken.

Thank you! Believe me, I felt the cold when I took that photograph!

I am sure I have driven by this tree although I ha... (show quote)
Ouch! A lesson I've had to learn several times, the photo that is available today may never be available to you again. One instance in particular was side stream I saw when driving up La Plata canyon with the intent to photograph a waterfall I'd seen before. I was impatient to get to the waterfall and decided to shoot the side stream on my way back down the canyon. The photos I got of the waterfall were forgettable and the light on the side stream was gone when I got back to it. :-(

Very cool!
Cool indeed. This was one of those days that your hand is so numb that you know the exposure has been made by listening for the sound of the shutter. :-)

Great shot. In the foothills? Near where? I only wish I had more time to shoot the area between Castle Rock and south Denver. It's been beautiful like this for a whole day.
Thank you! This was just inside the foothills south west of Sedalia, probably at about 6,600' elevation. I'd been watching this tree for several years waiting for the right conditions to give me the shot I'd seen in my minds eye.

The temperature had been below zero all night with low clouds blowing through the hills. There was a layer of frost coating everything as the sun tried to burn its way through the clouds.

But ya, if you own a pro lens or camera, you should understand how to use it. It reminds me of kids that get a paying job and go out and buy a 150 HP rice rocket. Their funeral is usually a week or two later.
Another perspective is what I did when first learning photography. I bought the best equipment I could afford so that if there was a problem I knew I was the cause, not the equipment.

The minimum shutter speed you can hand hold a given lens at is largely determined by two things not mentioned in your question. 1) What are you photographing and is it moving. 2) How steady are your hands and how good is your technique.

You have what you need, but you might consider a 70-200mm f2.8 in the future to lengthen your reach and enable you to isolate your subject with a shallower depth of field.

One of the instructors at Immaging USA 2018 said NIK filters had been purchased from google. If correct, this might mean updates...
