Home Forums Gear Photography Colors of Colorado

Many of you know that I have been shooting a Nikon more than a Winchester the past several years. As life progresses, interests change also. I do find landscape photography a lot like hunting in that one has to research and scout locations, check the weather, hike in the dark to get to locations, and have patience for the right opportunity. Even if a glorious sunset does not happen, or a royal bull steps in the opening, the time spent in nature is a blessing.

This past Oktober, I spent the first week in southwest Colorado photographing fall colors. I had not been to Colorado in five years for various reasons, but the return happened when the colors of the aspens and oaks were the best in several years. What wonders some summer rain and optimum temperature make. The venture to the San Juan Mountains included some areas that I was familiar with and then an area I was invited to meet some friends. Turns out, this "new" location was where I had archer and rifle hunted elk for a few seasons twenty some odd years ago.

Here is one of my favorite image from the trip. The rest may be seen on my website using this link: https://www.plateaulightphotography.com/New-Work/Colorado-Fall-2021/

Went to your web page, absolutely beautiful shots!
I was born and raised in CO. and your pics make me homesick for the CO. mountains, especially in fall.

as usual.......great pics......

Beautiful picture . . . .

Of course from you I would assume it would be!

Great view

Love that whole collection!

Thanks all for your looks and comments. Hopefully the wildflowers next summer will be good and I can return to the alpine areas.

Absolutely stunning. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful pics.

I always enjoy these landscape shots except I then feel like I should move to a more scenic venue😞🇺🇸🇺🇸

Nice shots. Mostly blessed with conifers here and do miss the fall colors of the eastern deciduous forests.
