Recent visit to CO
I don't usually post here but thought I would include a few from my recent visit with Todd Caudle. I had a great time Todd and your Jeep Rubicon is on the way, a loaded white model which shipped yesterday.

Gunsight Pass (6 shot stitch) Cambo RS, 72mm, Phase One P65+

I fell in love with Gothic Mountain, totally awesome!

Had an awesome morning at the bells, good light for 2-3 hours. Make me glad I crawled out of bed that morning.

Light was just about done by the time I started shooting flowers which were a little past peak.

Taylor Reservoir was nice as well. Totally different looks from the rest of the trip.

Finally ohio pass road.

I could really use some feedback from the CO regulars if you think these work or not.

Those are all great, Ed. I really like your work with the pano format, but the other two are equally well done. My favorite would be the Taylor Reservoir shot.

White? WHITE??? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Gonna have to send it back, buddy, white just shows dirt too readily. Nice gesture, though.

As you already know, Ed, I love that Taylor Park pano. Just extraordinary! But these are all sweet, with the subdued lighting in the Ohio Pass shot and the Maroon Bells shot with the flowers being of particular awesomeness.

The light and shadows on the mountains, along with the cumulus clouds, in the Gunsight Pass pano make it my favorite

They are all great, my fav is the vertical pano of the Bells.

Great series. I'm also diggin Gunsight Pass and Taylor Reservoir, but they're all excellent.

You really did well during your trip, Ed! :toast:
I like the first two very much, along with Taylor Reservoir.
The only one that doesn't work for me is the skinny vertical pano. of the Bells.

I really like the cropping on #3, my eyes are lead up through the whole image.

Great stuff... the Taylor Res shot is a real standout, I also like the Ohio Pass road shot.
