I left the house at 4:00am, drove to Echo Lake and hiked up to the Goliath Natural Area on Mt. Evans to photograph the Bristlecone Pines at sunrise. I had great clouds, but unfortunately the wind was really howling. So many of my images (like the one below) have shaky limbs – nice but probably not gallery material.

But it was a nice hike and it was good to be out. I’ll post more images from this hike.
I also worked up a couple panoramic prints for a customer. This is something I really enjoy – not only seeing the final product, but really exercising my craft to squeeze the very best out of and image.
