After retrieving our cameras from the night shoot location, we drove back to the previous mornings location, hoping to be there a little earlier this morning to take advantage of the golden hour sunrise light.
I hiked back up the slope to the same place I had initially set up the previous morning, using large boulders as foreground for my first composition. This morning I was here before the sunrise light illuminated the volcanic ridge at the crest of the slope.
As the light moved down the slope, I moved around seeking other compositions.
This morning I was able to get good light on the boulders and across the slope below the ridge and across the valley with long, early morning shadows.
These three shots were the best of the morning and I was much more satisfied with this mornings final shoot in this location, before getting on the road for the long drive home.
This wraps up the highlights of my July 2020 visit to Colorado. Stay tuned for my September visit to the Rio Grande National Forest for fall photography.
Stay well and safe,
Ken
