Okay, so I pretty much copied my post from another forum I posted it in, but figured others may want to see the shots, too. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/drunk.gif" alt="" />

Did a little offroading in Colorado between Lake City and Ouray (on Engineer Pass - light offroading) weekend before last. Got some killer photos from the trip.

I took this shot with the GPS reading 13001ft (3962m):


Larger Size (~1MB)

I stitched this shot together from 11 seperate photos on my Canon EOS 350D. The original image is 179MB and 15000 pixels wide. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/zombie.gif" alt="" />

Prettiest country I've ever seen. (There was still snow up there, too! In some places over 10ft (3m) thick! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/zombie.gif" alt="" />

Here's another.

Notice all the trails down at the bottom. We drove them all. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Some of my other photos are here (need to get more landscapes from the trip posted).

Anyone else got some CO photos?

You're quite the shooter. Now I gotta get a bigger monitor... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" />

Thanks, you should see the 15000pxl wide version. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/zombie.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Amazing photos. How long did it take you to get there from Albuquerque? All-4-Fun and the SW4WDA's Summer Quarterly are both up in that neck of the woods and I really need to get up there.

Awesome pics!

Lighting is great!

But thar's somethin' wrong-o with yer mountains out West! Some one's gone and mushed them to a point and covered them in rocks! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" />

Well, the trail where I took those shots took us ~7hrs. (!) and we stopped along the way up there, but coming down, around 5hrs to Durango or so.




Yeah, sorry that's my bad. I'll stop that.

Man, it looks like some enormous shag carpet from the 50s. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Wow, that is some awesome photography. I love your use of light, as in the picture in your sig. Very cool. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />



I remember seeing those pointed rock covered mountains for the first time and thinking:

"Wow, thats.....different!"

I love the rockys cause you can be motoring along on smooth ground for miles and all of the sudden, mountains will be all over the place. Around here, the foothills dont give that same experience. You very gradually get into the taller mountains.

Yeh- first time I ever saw them was in 2001, when I was doing an audit in Denver. I thought the same thing. They can be HUGE and look like they are right there, but they are really 60 miles away.

Did you use warming filters for those shots Morgan or is that natural light? Any post processing? What time of day?

Taken on 07/02/06, at 17:44. I used a slight graduated tabacco filter with the flash white balance set to bring out the reds. The mountains did have a nice orange tone to them, though so I accentuated that with the filter and the WB helps A LOT. The only post processing I used was the stitching and a slight modification to the curves in Photoshop, but it pretty much looked like that out of the camera.

I'm impressed with the camera. This is one of my first landscape photos, too. I think it turned out pretty well.

I may have to print this shot, too. At 300dpi, it would be over 10in tall and 50in wide! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/zombie.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I think I'll have to scale it down a bit... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
