Just a few photographs of the fall colors near Purgatory, Colorado. I hope you enjoy them.

kurty[B] · 09-29-2004, 08:44 PM

Beautiful!! I was just in Steamboat Springs this weekend, was gorgeous!

Averett · 09-30-2004, 03:07 AM

Amazing. That first picture is poetry.

paddyjoe · 09-30-2004, 03:16 AM

Nice man. Looks like paradise.

inharmony · 09-30-2004, 05:18 AM

amazing pics

sherpahigh · 09-30-2004, 07:30 AM

Those pics look great! Man I'd love to make some turns on that snow. I'm getting the itch big time for some skiing and those pictures aren't helping.

Norske8 · 09-30-2004, 09:03 AM

Thanks! With all the colors it is amazing how everything will be covered in snow in a matter of weeks.

gump · 09-30-2004, 09:25 AM

those are really nice... looks like something you could see on a postcard.

Y2KDREAD · 10-01-2004, 01:36 AM

zenmaster10665 · 10-01-2004, 02:41 AM

I used film on this, Kodak Porta I believe.

I love the depth in the last photo. It really shows just how majestic and expansive the landscape is there. It seems to go on forever.

Norske8 · 10-08-2004, 10:19 AM

1 more, near the Colorado/New Mexico state line.

Sty · 10-08-2004, 11:03 AM

Hmm, the 1st one looks even a little bit over-saturated... tried Fuji Velvia?

2nd one has the perfect exposure, although I'm a little bit distracted by the trees on the right side... how long was the exposure? I really can't tell if they were moving or did you run out of dof

Otherwise these are some high-contrast pictures here. Looking at the shadows reveals little or no detail so some post-processing might help you to squeeze some life into those.

Anyways, pretty pictures. Can't really tell were the last ones better than these or not. I think they were not, they were more 'postcardish'. These seem to have more soul.

sschlee · 10-08-2004, 01:21 PM

Just incredible! I really need to get up there to see that in person, but until I do...this will suffice!

No, I have not tried Fuji Velvia yet. I need to do that.

Because I used my film camera I did not save the setting information but I do
believe that the wind was sufficient to cause the blur.

I agree the first one is probably oversaturated. I am colorblind and when I
use the contrast and color enhancers I tend to over adjust on certain colors.

Hercules · 10-08-2004, 06:47 PM

Wow beautiful photos.
Although now that I look at them the colors could be a bit better, but the vistas are amazing.
Great job.

usrbinboy · 10-08-2004, 08:27 PM

Wow, I wish I lived near pretty stuff. Those are great.

Ah but this is what you have to do. Can you carry a small notebook so you can scribble little notes about the exposure? It's a very very good thing to do because you want to be able to study your pictures afterwards

Got a nice wide lens already?

Not yet, the 70-200 mm L lens I just purchased is still giving me some guilt.

Those remind me of puzzle pictures, I can just picture one of them having "1000 Pieces" written on it.
