p.1 #1 · Colorado Wildflowers


I have attended a Wildflower Photo workshop in Colorado this July. I think I understand now why they call Crested Butte the Colorado's Wildflower Capital. Quite an experience. The biggest challenge (as I expected) was the flower movement in the wind which does not mix well with focus stacking. Some images worked and some I had to give up...The pictures below were taken within an hour drive from Mount Crested Butte.
Thanks for looking. Your CC is welcome and appreciated.

Thanks Rat! Yes, about the wind...you increase your shutter speed to counter it; it helps some, but still the position of the petals is different from one frame to another...

Jacob, this is an inspiring set for me, I have not shot mountain wildflowers since Mount Rainier years ago when I lived in WA and have never shot them in Colorado. You’ve captured some delicious colors among those mountains.

Thank you Ross! This was a first for me and it is difficult to do justice to the breathtaking scenes in front of you...

We're close enough to CB to visit at least twice during wildflower season...let me assure you that you did justice to the area. Your compositions are perfect!
