More from RMNP - sunset
I had planned on going to the Pawnee Buttes to shoot sunset this past weekend, but my friend Steven P went on the Saturday and reported flowers were not too good.
Plan B went into operation, Sunset in RMNP. These are all from the same location along Trail Ridge road. The light was changing so fast I didn't know where to point the camera, so I aplogize for another long series of images.
Canon 5Dmkii, 24-105L, Lee GND, I added little or no saturation to the reds, it was nice light up there.

Marvelous collection! There is something to like a lot in all of your images. I'm having a hard time picking a fav.

You're keeping real busy. Excellent job!

You're putting that new camera to good use, Nick. Nice stuff. I never tire of photos from RMNP.

Very good compositions here Nick and nice light. I prefer the last two with more sky, but you know me... I have my head in the clouds most of the time.

Not bad for a plan B! You took advantage of some wonderful conditions up there. Well done.

Really nice work Nick. I like the contrats in number one a lot, but I htink 5 & 6 are my favorites.

Nick, Wonderful shots. I love #6. I was in RMNP last week and will post a couple of those soon.

Great shots Nick! That is almost identical to the conditions I had up there on Monday night, including the rainbow. I like #1 the best but the light in #4 is terrific!
