Colorado - Calhan Wind Farm - Beauty on the Rolling Hills.

"X Shot" information.

Camera - Canon EOS 5D MarkII

ISO - 2000

Shutter - 1/40 seconds

F/stop - 5.6

Lens - EF70/200 zoom

While in Calhan to photograph Paint Mines, I discovered a wind farm had been built in the area. Even though I didn't like the ones surrounding the mines, the rest off them are very stunning. Their like trees growing in the emptiness. At dusk, each one has a red light that comes on, that adds to the beauty.

Colorado - Papaleo's Best Photos of 2016.

For the last three months my photo blog has been a recap of images from the past, a rotator-cuff tear and surgery has kept me on the sidelines. Starting in January I will be able to go back out in Gods country and see what he has for me. I hope to publish a new blog every two weeks.

Colorado - Fall Starts in the Foothills west of Denver.

"X Shot" information.

Camera - Canon EOS 5D Mark II

ISO - 400

Shutter - 1/500 sec.

Lens - 70/200 zoom

The beginning off fall has started in the foothills west of Denver. My route took me from Evergreen, through Squaw Pass, down to Idaho Springs and ending at the top of Guanella Pass, in Georgetown. These areas should be pretty nice by the last week in September. I'm heading out to Steamboat Springs for three days, the colors up there should be pretty nice by now.

Colorado - Dallas Divide Summer Visit, Ridgeway.

"X Shot" information.

Camera - Canon 5D Mark II

ISO - 200

Shutter - 1/100 sec.

F/stop - 22

Lens - 70/200 zoom

When I visit the Dallas Divide are, it is usually in the fall for it's colors. This location is famous for aspens and snow covered mountains. This time a summer tripe was in order. One good thing was not may photographers were around, I pretty much had the place to my self. My "X Shot" came in the late evening. The sky was as blue as I had ever seen it and that along with all the green, made my image.
