Up at Sky Pond in Rocky Mountain National Park, as sunset approached the clouds were moving fast. The clouds above the sawtooths started to dissipate but a whole new set approached from the other side. This is now looking towards the outlet of Sky Pond and out of view but right below that is...

At Sky Pond that is. :) This is from Sky Pond in Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado from a month ago. I made 2 trips up there in like 3 days because the first time up was so windy, the lake never calmed down for any reflections. This trip was much better, and I had some cool clouds. The...

When Monika and I started shooting off Trail Ridge Road in RMNP on Sunday night for the stars and Milky Way, I set up initially to shoot with the moon at my back to light up the hills and ridges opposite it. There was still some clouds in the sky which I was really liking, but they ended up...

This is from Wednesday in Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) in Colorado at Dream Lake. This is the view I had looking to the East, no mountains that way but there was this awesome curving cloud that just never seemed to move. It almost had a Lenticular cloud feel to it. Even before the sun...

This was from yesterday up in the RMNP in Colorado. This is at Dream Lake, it's a little over a mile from Bear Lake and is a snow covered trail. I made it with just ice crampons on my boots but I carried my snow shoes just in case. It was a nice warm 25 degrees, but it had winds of 40 mph...

Yesterday's sunrise at frozen Dream Lake, Rocky Mountain National Park. Both pictures took from the same location at around same time, one facing west and the other east. It was very hard to take the pictures with gusty winds up to 35 mph.

Emerald Lake, Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado 13OCT2018. An early morning sunrise hike to emerald lake wasn't that bad except for few hours of lost sleep, I'm happy to trade that sleep for a beautiful alpine glow like this. The glow was absolutely amazing, a few clouds could have made the...

This is a cool area long side Hwy 34 as it heads up to Estes Park in the RMNP area in Colorado. The challenge is finding a spot where it doesn't look like it's right next to the highway. This is from a snowier time in Colorado, hopefully there will be an abundance of snow this year. All...

After shooting the stars for a good portion of the night, this is the wonderful sight that greeted me in the morning at Sky Pond in the RMNP in Colorado. It's a similar composition as the star shot because I liked getting the flowers and especially the Columbine into the image and plus it...

Most of you have seen Monika's recent star shots from Sky Pond in the RMNP in Colorado, here is one I took almost a month ago. To avoid going down the waterfall climb in the dark that Monika described in her Thread and to be able to shoot both sunset, the stars and sunrise I just stayed up there...

Another look at Dream Lake up in RMNP. This one I moved west along the lake, there were no more bubbles in the ice, just lots of cracks and misshapen surface to play with. The sun hadn't quite set but was close and was burning through the clouds from behind causing a cool golden glow behind the...

On my recent time in Colorado I hiked several times up to Dream Lake to shoot the sunset with the best ice bubbles I could find. While these are not the cool 3D methane bubbles Kyle shot up in Banff, these are my poor man bubbles. :) All comments are welcome, Jim

This is Emerald Lake in Rocky Mountain NP. It was cold with gusty winds and very fast moving clouds. It is a fun cool place to shoot, and one that I plan to get back to and shoot the stars from later. All thoughts are welcome, Jim

Okay, so I copied my title just a bit from Kyles Vermillion Burn, but it seemed to rhyme. My Burn is more like a flame compared to Kyles really true Burn, but hey I liked the title is my only defense. :eek: I shot this a little bit ago, I was in Colorado and met up with Alisa and we were...

My wife and I drove the high elevation Trail Ridge road a couple times a few summers ago while visiting Rocky Mountain National Park. On our last traverse I insisted on staying for sunset at some limber pines I'd seen on a ridge above the road. She walked up with me while I scouted them, but a...
