I went out for a quick shoot this am - from Doudy Draw trail head, I wanted to capture the contrast of green grass with snow on the Flatirons while using the ponderosa savannah for middle-ground.
This is a beauty of a shot! It's amazing how much that simple cloud deck adds to it, versus a plain blue sky. I think the colors are pretty indicative of a nice alpenglow sunrise, which is typical after a storm like the one that rolled through yesterday.
Dave, that's nice! A refreshing perspective. I like the snow dusting and tree character. I've picked up the same reddish hue from the sunrise on the flatirons when I've shot there, and rather like it that way.
I saw this coming home from work this morning and I was wishing I was able to capture it -- I'm glad someone did. The colors were awesome this morning -- nice capture Dave!
Sweet shot of the flatirons, not the uaual viewpoint which makes this unique. Nice light and composition, perhaps a slight colour cast, but it could be the light!.
