As a student of photography, you could not ask for more picturesque vistas to experiment with than the landscape of Colorado. The views beg for recording into lasting memories. The subjects are so rich and varied that the techniques do not have to be perfect to create a good picture. Here are just a few of my favorite images captured during our visit.
This was taken from the top of Mount Werner at about 10,000 feet above sea level looking down at Steamboat Springs which is approximately 6900 feet above sea level. The next three pictures are taken on one of the Fish Creek Falls hiking paths. The waterfall is 280 feet high.
This little guy was patiently waiting for us to share our lunch on the hiking trail.
This last picture I really enjoyed because it was such a surprise. On the drive to steamboat I stuck my camera out the window and just started snapping photos. It was difficult to focus on anything because we were traveling at about 65 miles per hour. I was sitting on a shutter speed of 1/125 and an aperature of F7.0. To me the cabin perfectly captured the beautiful but desolate landscape we were seeing.
I can’t wait to return to Colorado!
