A couple of Colorado Sunsets

Hi Everyone,

Here's a few more pictures from my trip to Colorado a month back. These are all from the same night, and were taken just outside of Rocky Mountain National Park (click on the picture to see a larger version):




Canon 30D with Canon 10-22 lens + polarizer. 10 vertical shots at F16 and 1/10 bracketted +/- 1 1/3 stops. Stitched with PTGui, merged with Photomatix and finalized in CS4.

Canon 30D with Canon 10-22 lens + polarizer. 6 vertical shots at F16 and 1 second bracketted +/- 1 1/3 stops. Stitched with PTGui, merged with Photomatix and finalized in CS4.

Thanks for looking!

Stunning skies! I think the first one needs to be rotated counter-clockwise just slightly.

Thanks kdog! I'm hoping to head up to this area again in late Sept to capture the fall colors. Should be a great trip!

These are stunning! Love that CO weather.

If you haven't already visited, the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) is located in Boulder and worth a visit. There are displays as well as a tour that talk about the work done at the facility.

Wow.

I spent a good 10 seconds looking at #1, thinking how great the color is on the left side of the frame.

Then I scrolled down to #2 and found that it blows away #1. Absolutely fabulous!

Sorry for the late reply! I haven't been there, but will have to check it out. I will probably stay my first evening in Boulder when I go in Sept. Thanks!

Thanks! The light was changing so quickly it was unreal. The whole episode probably only lasted 10 minutes.
