Cheyenne Canyon Part II

In answer to the question of snowfall in Colorado Springs, you can see some of these wider angle shots I took yesterday. The light was pretty extreme between sun and shade, so I had to blend most of the images.

While the Garden didn't get much snow, Cheyene Canyon got hit pretty good.

All of your wide shats are very well balanced and really open up the scene compaired to mine! Well done! Where are the Icicle Shots you took too?

Thanks James,

Your ice shots look really cool. I had the wrong lens on for the ones I took (too wide).

I also really like your zoomed in shots of the cascades. Next time I'll have to get some close ups as well. The first you referenced wth the sunlight hitting the top of the cascade looks awesome!

Nice work Derek given the light conditions! Love those snow pillows. You too James. I did not fair so well . Note to self: time to invest in a polarizer and some ND and split nd filters. I could not slow the water down enough to get a visually pleasing look on the stream. I have a few shots that I will process in DXO and see if that helps. If it does I will post a few other wise only on the "How not to do it" site! I was fun though and still the worst day shootin' is better than the best at work!

Nice shots guys, good timing.

Nice shots, both of you!
