Black Friday Gold

I haven't posted in a few weeks because I've been spending a lot of time working on a photography project that I'm about to announce on Monday. I've also been saving up some of my shots from the past fall to use as teasers leading up to the announcement (if you're on Facebook, maybe you've seen some of them). Now it's time for these fall photos to see the light of day. Here's the first selection of pics from all over Colorado. These don't give any hints to where my three fall contest entries where taken BTW. Enjoy!

The image above was taken on the Colorado Trail near Kenosha Pass. Three exposures were taken with different lighting situations (all happening within a few minutes) and combined later at different opacities to create the atmospheric effect.

Taken on Last Dollar Road with a view to Mears Peak in the San Juans.

Sunrise on West Dallas Creek Road looking toward the Dallas Divide in the San Juans.

Morning light on an aspen-covered hillside on the north edge of Grand Mesa.

Near Cuchara Pass in the Spanish Peaks. That's all for now. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.

Great images! Really like the colors in the morning light in Grand Mesa.

These are super, Josh!

I look forward to hearing your announcement. The second photo is my favorite of these. Well done Joshua!

Love the technique you used to acquire such a unique image with #1. Bravo!!
The rest are simply some of the best I've seen from this autumn.

NIce set, Josh! I really like the Grand Mesa shot especially. Sky in #2 seems slightly off/gray, but everything else looks perfect. I hope your photography project involves bikinis and tropical isalnds, cause i could use some of that right now...

Great effect in the first one, and the rest are outstanding!

Nice set, great softness in the first one.

Great set of images, tought to pick out a favorite one.

The dreamy soft processing in the first makes it my choice of these. Nice!
