Colorado - Indian Paintbrush wildflowers on Shrine Pass, Vail.

"X Shot" information.

Camera - Canon EOS 5D Mark II

ISO - 200

Shutter - 1/250 sec.

F/stop - 5.6

Lens - 70/200 zoom

On my way back from Ridgeway Co, I stopped at Shrine Pass in the early morning. I had been here before but this time the Indian Paintbrush was the wildflower of choice. This area has one of the largest collection of paintbrushes in the state. Early morning light made nice dark shadows to use as your background in photos. Avoid crowds by going up in the early morning or late afternoon.

Columbine High School Shooting, Littleton, Colorado, Flash Back - 4/20/2000.

This photo was taking on April 20th, 2000, on the one year anniversary of the Columbine High School shootings. I used a 500 mm lens, it gave the students privacy and still permitted me to capture this image.

Cranes of Colorado, Monte Vista, March, 2015.

"X Shot" information.

Camera - Canon EOS 5D Mark II

ISO - 2000

Shutter - 1/200 sec.

F/stop - 4.5

Lens - 500 mm

Tripod and cable release used for this shot.

Every year I try to go to Monte Vista and photograph the sandhill migration to the north.

This year I decided to use mostly my 500 mm lens, just to change it up a bit. My "X Shot" came in the early morning, before the sun came up. Noticing a small group of birds roosting, I set up my gear, a tripod and a cable release with my 500 mm lens. With the cranes not moving much yet, I was able to use a slower shutter speed. The cranes stay in Monte Vista Colorado for the month of March, on their way to Idaho.
