 Mount Evans was closing for the season (way to soon as usual) and I wanted to make one last trip. The weather forecast was thunderstorms, some pretty big. Not much different from my last visit, nice animal and science opportunities. My "X Shot" was taking on my way down the mountain as the storms approached. I't's kind of fun being eye level with the storms.

Colorado - Photos through the eyes of children.

"X Shot" information.

Camera - Canon EOS Rebel T5

ISO - 800

Shutter Speed - 1/800sec.

F/stop - 5.6

Lens - 18-55 zoom

 My whole family was going to meet in Lake Tahoe for a wedding. I decided to just bring my Canon Rebel to take family photos. While there I let my grand children (oldest is 8) take photos of their cousins. When I edited the files I was completely surprised. All images on this post were shot by Sydney, Gavin, Brooklyn and Colton. I really liked the way they got up close for portraits. The "X Shot" turned out to be a shot of little Zoe dancing with her mom. What a great moment!

Colorado - Deer and Elk are abundant in Evergreen.

"X Shot" information.

Shutter Speed - 1/2000 sec.

Lens - 70/200 zoom

Pretty much every morning I go out for a drive, looking for wildlife. The following photos were taking during a few of those drives. My "X Shot" came about when I was photographing a young baby deer in the sun. It suddenly moved into the shade, I kept shoot with my daylight exposure, no time to change it. The ears and hind legs were hit with some light, properly exposed. Love those ears!

Colorado - Elk Rut Starts in Evergreen

 I drove to downtown Evergreen for my daily early morning bull run (Red Bull). This gives me the chance of coming across some wildlife and this morning had results. A large bull was showing interest in a cow but she wanted nothing to do with him. The following photos shows what went down. With the rut comes danger, caution is always best.
