Challenge.

 I hadn't been out for a blog shoot for a couple of weeks, so I headed out. I found myself at Chatfield State Park in Littleton, Colorado. Upon entering the park I noticed helicopter activity in the south east corner. The Army National Guard where undergoing water dropping training. It looked interesting but I had no access and would have to shoot from a distance.

Solution.

The thing that really helped me with this shoot was having all my gear with me, including my 500 mm lens. Using this lens and a 70/200 zoom I was able to get a good variety of images.

This photo went with a story on homeowners who didn't own the mineral rights of the land and soon found drilling wells in their back yards, in Silt, Colorado.

A New Piece of Art Work "Ski Fence"

After taking a real nice image, I get a black and white print made. I then use Marshall's Photo Oil Paints, using only QTips that I make out of cotton and toothpicks, to paint parts of the image.

Once it is finished, a high res scan is made and then a limited number of prints are up for sale. Check out more of my paintings by clicking on the "Ken Papaleo" icon on the top right corner of this photo blog and then click on the photo on the right.

Blog Postings will be limited for the next 6 months.

I have become part of a photo grant project for the next 6 months. It will take a lot of time so my weekly postings of "X Marks the Shot" will be limited. I will try to post "Weekend Flash Back"

every week. Please take some time and look back into five years of postings from around Colorado.
