Randomness from Life on the Front Range

This was the original image.

Frontrange at Sunset.

I don’t think I have shared this before, but if I did it was as a different edit.

I stumbled across this image while looking for some Mountain shots for my wife. The image was edited a while ago and was a tight cropped wide aspect view panorama, very indicative of my style of shots just a year ago. When I saw it, I figured there must have been something outside the crop that I did not like, but sure enough there was not, this is the entire image. I liked the rest of the edit and toning, but it was done in an older version of Lightroom, so I updated the process, which immediately rendered the image too bright, so a few quick re-edits and it was back to what I think is actually better then the first edit, and in full image size. Considering this was shot on a 30D 8.2 MP camera, the more image you can keep the better.

I don’t often revisit an edited image, mostly due to time constraints, but this might be a reason to start, as my tastes and techniques change older images could have a reappearance.

Resilience.

Shot this image of three trees, there is one behind the front one, growing straight out of a rock formation. This was from a day trip my wife and I took to Rocky Mountain National Park in March of 2012.

It really is amazing to see these trees growing out of what looks like no dirt, you can see the root of the front tree spreading across the ground. Considering the high winds that I get at my house, I imagine this spot can get some extreme wind. It is a testament that they are even still standing.

Autumn Gold and Green

Golden fields of Rocky Mountain National Park with snow capped mountains in the background.

This was another shot taken while at RMNP last year with my daughter.

It dawned on me yesterday that I still have unprocessed images from March of 2012 when my wife and I took a “play day” together and went hiking in the park, had lunch, and a tour of the “haunted” Stanley Hotel in Estes Park.

It was a fun day, but not a fun night for my wife, sadly she got what seemed like food poisoning from the meal she had at the Stanley.
