Here's a couple from yesterday afternoon on the west side of Cottonwood Pass. I drove straight to the pass from home, had about 30 minutes of these conditions, then it was socked in for a while before giving me another 15 minute opportunity. Without looking at a map, I'm pretty sure this is the West Apostle. It's a stitch of two horizontal images, one on top the other.
#3: And here's one from this morning of Tomichi Dome. It was a tough shoot, because it was incredibly hazy, with differing layers of fog creating problems in getting images to not look like they're taken through frosted glass. I worked this to show a bit of improvement over actual conditions, but not much.
I've got a bunch of stuff from this weekend, and will post more over the next few days. Anyone else get out for this event? Rocky looked like it would've been a great place to be.

Love the layers of clouds and the perspective you got. Pretty dreary along the front range.
These are AWESOME. I like all three, but with a gun to my head i guess id go for the top one. Fog chasing can be a worthy pursuit, and depending on what road you take its probably more dangerous than tornado chasing.

All three are good but I favor #1 the most...very productive sessions!
Great work, Todd. I like them all, but there is something very powerful about #2 that really grabs me. There is a fascinating image hiding in #3 if you crop just above the middle hill.
Excellent captures one and all!
I really like the telephoto perspective you achieved. How did you do that?
Seriously though, I need to remember to do this more often. I can get so hung up with the wide angle view that I miss the trees for the forest.

Cloudman hits another one out of the ball park. Well done!
Great shots, Todd.
I was kayaking in Buena Vista Sunday evening and Monday. I was going to camp up on Cottonwood Sunday night but ended up camping along the Arkansas River north of BV. The mountains sure looked good with a fresh coat of snow! Makes me wish I had gone with my first choice.

Ditto. All really nice shots, but #1 stands out above the others with the warm tones down in the trees and the cool, snowy peak above.
All are great shots, middle one is my favorite.
