p.1 #1 · Daybreak (Colorado fall sunrise)


I'm pretty much obsessed with fall photography, so I'll post yet another one from last fall. This particular morning was crisp, quiet and gorgeous. I didn't expect much is the way of fantastic light, but like usual, the best light is not always predictable.
The intense sun ray was impressive and I hope I captured and processed well enough to convey what I saw.

On the technical side, this was taken from my 200 foot tripod; a DJI Mavic Pro 2. Yea, this drone doesn't have anywhere near the camera as my full frame, but I am impressed it captured this intense light and dynamic range.

Cheers,
Ken

Beautiful shot. I'm trying to place the location, but I can't recognize any of the mountains in the distance.

Thanks! The view is of the Elk Mountains from McClure Pass.

I was there last Fall. It was beautiful, but I didn't get this view with my 6 foot tripod.

Love this perspective, great work by you and the drone.

Oh man, now I'm disappointed I didn't recognize it... looking up the valley towards Marble, right? I drove past that spot several times in September alone last year! You got some amazing light, great job of capturing it!

Great capture. On my screen, the trees look a bit too dark. I would try increasing the exposure and contrast just a bit. Just a minor nit....it's a beautiful photo.

Nice use of the drone you did our state proud. Sure would not be happy if I had to go looking for the drone if it dropped off.

Thanks Don. Yea, I agree, I hope I never lose communication with my expensive flying camera!

I agree, Dave. I figured images with less dynamic range, abstracts, etc would work well, but I'm surprised as well with the overall quality.

You know... it really isn't fair to make us think of fall color... in February! ;-)
