Another one just finished. It is part from a much bigger Pano, but I liked it a lot so I made this one.

I find the water reflections fascinating; I would be tempted to print an image with only the water. I am mystified by the orange strip on the left side of the reflection. I can not find its origin in the skyline.

If you've ever done the hike, you'll understand why we don't take a group in there! Seriously, the liability exposure prevents it. It is hard work, you have to slog the river, some sections nearly waist-deep, and it's all upstream for about 4 miles -- so you need to be in shape. (The downstream return is relatively easy.) You can enter from above, but there is a section you need to rope down, so it requires some basic rock climbing gear and expertise. On the upside, you get images that most folks never will. Fall when the aspens turn is the best time IMHO, though there are not many trees in the gorge area itself -- but the water and Sun are lower and the light is quite nice. I pack my gear in kayaking "dry bags" and in turn put those in a proper trekking back-pack with support -- it is easy to fall in that little river... Boots with felt creeper soles help grip the slick river rocks, and a wading staff can provide added stability. It's a worthwhile excursion, but do it with a buddy or two for safety and carry some emergency gear for an unplanned overnight.
Thx a lot. It was an amazing time ins Sydney and I had a week of brilliant weather. Many different conditions. Shnaghai wasn't that great and the muted colors from the third image, are pretty much real. There was only done some small processing. It was extremly hazy. I just whished I had more time traveling, but than again I currently can't keep up with processing ;-)Great images on this page, a testament to the talent on this forum.
Christopher, I like the muted color and light in your images. All nice images but the vertical is my favorite.
It is interesting to see the different approaches to lighting and color in this forum. Very different but most are natural looking as well.
Kudos!
The Orange comes from the "street" lamp, which looks more like a huge street lamp. It was very bright.Another one just finished. It is part from a much bigger Pano, but I liked it a lot so I made this one.

Just a quick one from today, Leaf AFI Zeiss 250mm F16 / Aptus II 7
When the next snow fall hits, we should be in full fall color swing. I can't wait.

Out on my back deck in Telluride this morning.

Nice shots Steven. How come you get to live in these cool places? How's the new system? Here is one from last summer. An approaching storm in the Badlands, SD. Nothing special, but what interests me are the cloud patterns. I've seen faces in clouds before, but this one seems devilish.
Tom
nothing special? Well you took it, you're a biased critic . It is both beautiful and disturbing. Very nice!.... Nothing special, but what interests me are the cloud patterns. I've seen faces in clouds before, but this one seems devilish.
Steve,
Thanks Joe, Yeah it should start getting good pretty soon here . actually any day now. I took this one today of the trees..Steve,
Magnificent! Great color, detail, and composition. With that hint of blue sky in the upper right and dark clouds in the upper left, I almost want to see more of the sky. I can't wait to see your captures of fall color in the Rockies. Hope I can join you one of these days.
Joe
sweet shot.When I took this there was a slight breeze and a temperature of about 70 F; within a few minutes, winds were around 35mph accompanied by rain and temperature drops. I'm glad I wasn't on a boat
