Looming Snow

I took this shot early in the morning over Ullswater. The sun had just risen over the hills, and burst out from amidst the cloud, hitting the very edge of the water and isolating the row of trees on the right of the shot. With my pentax 6x7 I managed to take a photo (as yet undeveloped) of the mountains standing crisp and clear behind them, then changed it out for my 60D. The whole process of removing the one and replacing the other on my tripod must not have taken more than 30 seconds, but by the time it was changed the clouds had rolled over the hills before me, and snow had started to fall. By the time I had finished taking this image, the snow was falling thick and fast, and the whole landscape was void of the early morning suns bright warming glow once again.
