I had an anon earlier ask if I could dump anything else I had from a trip I took last year to Colorado, specifically Pikes Peak. Criticism welcome.

This has to be my second favorite shot from Pikes Peak, I wish I hadn't parked my car in this location but you don't have much choice. This shot wasn't my original subject.

Apparently you can ride a tram up some times during the year, instead of driving up the pants shitting road. I took the latter, but I knew I couldn't pass up this shot, the railway ending at the edge of the world is perfect.

The last three shot's haven't had any manipulation, I generally just like to crop, I'll point out if I did anything major post production in my photos.

This shot I did clean up a little, the lighting conditions on the mountain change rapidly, so its hard to keep up. I would have stuck around to shoot more shots, but at that altitude a brief walk can make you seriously dizzy and sick.

Had to crop out a moron in this shot, fairly certain all I've done is bump up the exposure a smidge post production.

This shot is pure kitsch, but I like it. I'm thinking maybe throwing a grainy, codak Polaroid filter on it perhaps.

Speaking of kitsch, I couldn't get a shot of the 'Hanging Rock' without people in it, so I'm also thinking some up his own ass hipster filter might work.
I really like how overexposed this one looks, like an old postcard.

This and the previous photo are from Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs. I know this sort of thing is over photographed, but I found it fun to try to adapt to the harsh light and deep shadows around the rocks. I only really got these two photos out of that trip that I think are good enough to post. Neither this one nor the last is processed beyond cropping.

This one is adjusted for exposure a little, I shot this from the car and I'm glad I got some fauna shots on my trip. Not an amazing photo, but I like it personally.

Quoted By:

This one I definitely increased the exposure and color levels a bit, I had a hard time due to a light drizzle and some low hanging clouds getting any decent exposure. Still this alpine lake is shocking clear.

Honestly I thought this one was crap on my initial review, however when I blew it up at home I suddenly realized how subtle the white peaks poking up from the white clouds was. I did not touch this one besides cropping.

I'm annoyed that you went to Colorado and only visited the ugliest, shittiest part of it (Colorado Springs) and took all your photos at dad-blue o'clock in the afternoon.

Come back when you've discovered what lighting means.

I'll agree, Colorado Springs is by far the ugliest, shittiest, worthless tourist trash part of Colorado I've ever been.
Luckily I've since moved to the Eagle Valley area, and am hoping to do a hell of alot more photography when it warms up.

I've got two here, bumped the exposure on them a little bit, I'm not sure what crop I like better.

Ok well now I'm annoyed that you're right down the road from Vail and Beaver Creek and you think that you can't do any photography until "it warms up."

Fuck you again. Go outside in the snow, you clown.

Oh hey, RMNP. Love that spot. I mean you clearly shot this out of a moving car (or couldn't be bothered to literally walk 3 feet forward to get the road out of the frame), and it's underexposed, but hey at least you left Colorado Springs.

It's not that I can't get some good shots, Its that the tourist season is in full swing, and I don't feel like getting run off the road by texas morons, and I'm very busy with a new job. I've been doing long exposure photography of the stars to take advantage of the thinner atmosphere, but its been overcast for over a week now.
My problem is also I don't skii

It was raining I don't have any decent camera rain gear, I didn't even really have a bag and a rubber band. Trying not to ruin my only good camera lol. But yes, for such an amazing spot these photos suck.

Man I will tell you, I had fun on that trip but it was awful. I got hit by a high teenager in a cast in Colorado Springs. I got the ticket because I was out of State, the cop took 5 hours to show up, and when he left he STOLE my license. Took me over a day to get back, and I ended up paying over 5grand out of pocket. On the plus side me and my wife ended up moving out here. I'm glad I got any half presentable shots at all.

Here's Lionshead Village, Vail. I think this public art is called H20.
