Garden Of Gods, Colorado Springs,USA, was another outing of the 2011 PSA Convention. We arrived there before sunrise in order to capture the first light of the day. The redness of the geological formations was the effect of the morning sun. The red glow appeared stronger when was against the backdrop of Pikes Peak.
When the water is calm, the reflections in the water with cloud formation is always picturesque. As seen here, I captured this image almost at the same time when I have taken my previous posting. I have included the plant on the left side as indication of autumn. I have also used a PL filter for this shot.
Images of nature environment that I love, are clearly shown in “An Outing In Paradise” and “Autumn At Queen’s View”.
I captured this image at the road side, on our way to Alamosa,Colorado, USA.
As I ever mentioned before “The beauty of nature is not lasting forever”, I think this group of aspen trees clearly shown another stage in nature. As seen here, the colourful autumn of of the backdrop still plays an important roll in contrast to the dried trees.
I fully utilized the overcast soft lighting condition to achieve sufficient contrast for the image. Another sample of of the impact of such lighting condition is clearly demonstrated in my previous posting.
