With my terminal MDS, my blog postings have suffered. Not feeling as well and not finding money to do longer trips, has caused this to happen. For awhile, I'm starting a new series called "Day Tripper". My wife, Pam and I will be going on shoots that we can do in one day. Good thing I live in Colorado! The first is Garden of the Gods, in Colorado Springs. We left the house a 1pm and got home 7:30 pm. The drive was two hours, one way. The light was flat with a crummy sky. Not until after sunset did the sky turn nice and I got my shot.

Lens - 70/200 mm 2.8 zoom

Over the summer months I have been going to locations that I usually shoot in the fall or winter months, Garden of the Gods is the last in this series. I went there on a clear sky-blue day and not much haze. Even though it's not very big, it offered big results. The only problem is it gets packed out with cars and parking becomes a big problem. My "X Shot came as the sun was setting in the west. The rocks glowed bright red and stood out real nice from the blue sky.
