Sunset at Garden of the Gods

WOW!!

Same shot as above only shot at two stops under-exposed.  Just shows how really bright this rock gets in the golden sunset!!

Same as above but in Silver FX

This image was taken on the shady side of the rocks.  The sunset would be on the right.  Quite a contrast to what was happening on the other side!

There is one white ridge, outstanding in a field of hard rock red!

WOW again!  This was such a fun shoot.  As you noticed, Tom and I had a very different style in shooting this site.  If you are ever in the Colorado Springs area you just have to go and walk this site.  The ridges run south to north so we guessed correctly that one side would be awesome in the evening light and the other side would be just as awesome in early morning light.  We were told of a viewpoint up the road and up the hill that would give us a spectacular view in the morning (is on the east side of the rocks).  Up next . . . Sunrise at Garden of the Gods!  Plus, I have put many more photos than shown here on the gallery section of . . . so you might just want to check over there for more photos.

Tom and I are back in Albuquerque.  Tomorrow we are shooting around Cuba, NM checking out  the San Joaquin Basin badlands.  Hope your weekend plans include some photography!!  Thanks for sharing.

Tom Takes on Boulder's Mountains

Man oh man, my conference was just fantastic!  While I enjoyed Mathew Fox, friends-of-old and my mentor, Lee Kaiser . . . Tom went a-shootin'.  Here is his collection from the last several days. I am so glad he took me along, albeit later upon seeing these images.  You must have been along as well!  Here you go.

Whew!  He was one busy photogger!  My conference ended at noon today.  We packed up the Prius and 'were on the road again'.  Tonight we are in Colorado Springs.  We took in some golden hour shooting at the Garden of the Gods.  NICE!!!  We are headed back there in the morning to shoot the eastern side of the Garden with the rising sun.  Then . . . who knows!  We may stay another night here. Then, back to Albuquerque.

Boulder's Flatirons

The Flatirons are the rock formations so predominant in Boulder landscapes.  There are five flatiron slabs along the eastern slope of Green Mountain.  There is a huge park at their base, Chautauqua Park, that has many hiking trails and is a popular place for hikers and photography! 

I have been participating in a conference for two days and Tom has occupied himself by shooting a lot between having the Prius serviced and running errands for the conference.  We hope you enjoy the images.

Tom has dozens more photographs of the mountains around Boulder.  Hopefully we will have a better internet connection tomorrow, the last day of my conference.  We have not decided just what route we will take back to Albuquerque but Garden of the Gods is ranking right up there as an evening shoot.  We will keep in touch.  Miss you.
