THE CHALLENGE.
I have been very blessed when shooting sunrises and sunsets at this park. It seems I never come away disappointed! On this trip I just wanted to see if my best shot would come at sunrise or sunset.
THE SOLUTION.
The sunrise was spectacular, with vivid bright colors. Starting my shoot at the top of Trail Ridge Road, gave me a clean look at the sky while silhouetting the mountains. I was able to get a number of nice shots from the same location, just by changing lenses. The clouds were pretty thick at sunset and the photos were not very good. I waited until after the sun went down and was about ready to pack it in, when a full moon broke through the clouds for a few moments. It maid a very pleasing image but I went with a sunrise shot for my "X Shot"
