A Morning In The American West Every now and then you get a shot that just needs very little in the way of post processing. This is one of those shots. Captured in morning light looking west towards Red Rocks State Park outside Denver, Colorado…I had to get this along with a few others. Those are upcoming sometime. The light really communicated the overall mood and atmosphere, the color so vivid and alive…yes quite cool overtones with that blue and white, but visually….perfect scene! Minolta 5D| Minolta 18-200 DT Lens| Singh-Ray Circular Polarizer| Hoya UV Check out those clouds in the sky on the left by the hillside…almost like ribbons…I didn’t notice this ‘til after I developed the RAW file.

Welcome to Autumn in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado!

Captured in Rocky Mountain National Park, slight Orton effect used to communicate the atmosphere more…...wish scenes like this would last longer than just a couple weeks. / Thoughts welcomed!

Most people aren’t aware just how dynamic the Colorado landscape is, and there are few other places in North America that have so many features. From the rolling plains on the East to the high mountain peaks of the front rage, to the desert landscapes in the south, to plateau desert on the western slope. This is one shot that shows that. Usually I post pictures of snow covered peaks, well, this shows otherwise. This is an older shot, a couple years old taken at Garden of the Gods outside of Colorado Springs, Colorado. It has been sitting here just gathering dust, reworked for a long time now.. / I am uploading this shot specifically for a print in mind. I think it will make a good one!

Captured in Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado, I felt as though this image really represents the kinda shots I am after, always chasing, the never ending search with my photography. The wild landscape if you will, where the color is so pure and the light amazing, where there are no people, just nature….in a land untouched….

Standing on top of the world at 14,000 feet high is quite an amazing thing to feel, what is even more amazing is the sheer fact I was even able to get this picture and not pass out from altitude sickness lol Captured at My Evans summit, Colorado

“Independence Pass Overlook” This past summer, I was able to get to parts of Colorado that I haven’t been to in close to 30 some odd years to do some shooting, and this is one of those places. “Famous” (perhaps even “Infamous”) Independence Pass….the second highest paved mountain pass in Colorado. Last time I was here I was about 11, and my Mom said she would never ever come back again, to drive on this road. It is incredibly narrow, though they have done some construction since then, however, what ya see here is just what ya get…..no guard rails and straight down, thousands of feet. It is stunning though, and my only real regret is that I couldn’t shoot it in the morning light, though I think next year I will, just will need to do an overnight as it is several hours away. From “Wikipedia”http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independence_Pass_%28Colorado%29 / The pass is at the summit of the ridge of the Sawatch Range between Aspen and Leadville, on the border between Pitkin and Lake counties and is located within the confines of the White River National Forest. The pass connects the upper valley of the Roaring Fork River upstream from Aspen with the headwaters of the Arkansas River near Leadville. The pass is traversed by Colorado State Highway 82 and is the second-highest paved mountain pass in Colorado. The top of the pass is well above the tree line and the terrain type at the top is tundra. Its narrow road provides for slow cautious navigation on its approaches. Several switchbacks on each side of the pass make careful planning a must. The pass is always closed in winter, from the first heavy snow fall in autumn, often opening only in late May.

I love patterns in nature, call me a huge sucker for them. It can be abstraction or realism, but either way I just love em. It ranks up there with textures in nature for me. But when you add a lil light into that, you can get an image that just tends to pop. This one did that very thing to me, when I was out shooting. It really caught my eye….captured on a farm in rural Colorado, in the morning light. / Thoughts appreciated! :)

Shot as the storms started to roll on in, the evening’s out here on the plains can be a wonderful time for the light, here in Colorado. This road went down eventually to an old farm house, sadly it seemed abandoned, and as I sat here, my thoughts eventually started to turn to just how many people have driven down this now otherwise forgotten country road….sometimes the most gorgeous things are so close by, we just need to open our eyes to see them….. —-—-—-—-— See more on my website jdebordphoto.com / All artwork is © John De Bord, All Rights Reserved.

Moraine Valley, Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado…. I also will be uploading a color version of this at some point. I really wanted a B&W though for the dramatic light play, it was utterly dramatic in the first light of the morning….scenes like this are just what I live for, and the shadow in the bottom I intentionally made sure to shoot ‘in’ the shot, as I wanted the hint of the split rail fence. Well let me know what ya think! I am groovin’ on HDR B&W I think though / —John

lately I have studying the work of MarcAdamus who is one of the best landscape shooters there is, period. His work often appearing in magazines such as Outdoor Photographer and Popular Photography, I have learned a lot from watching his images and watching how he describes his workflow in detail on other sites. Ya, influence I suppose you can say. One thing that has caught my eye is the amount of detail he brings out in these shots and his lighting that he is able to capture. Some of the detail, naturally, is from using some of the best & sharpest lenses there is, almost all primes, along with knowing how to exactly sharpen an image. While I do not use his sharpening technique per say, (I use the FredMiranda Ultra Sharpen Toookit for that), I have started applying some techniques to my images that I feel I have learned from him. And this is the very first shot I have dabbled with in regards to that. I actually shot this handheld using my Minolta 18-200DT lens for this shot. I also bracketed about 10 times for this one shot, playing with the WB, EV, and iso levels along with the Fstops. This shot I feel is the best out of all of them. Naturally shot in RAW and output through Lightroom and PS. I was really going for atmosphere here, I simply love this area of Rocky Mountain National Park which is called The Alluvial Fan. It is nature as it is supposed to be….seen, witnessed, and untouched. And when I saw these massive fields of wildflowers, I almost fell over. It is hard to describe the kind of beauty I was witnessing. Well I hope you all enjoy it, let me know what ya think! —-John

Autumn scene on the Grand Mesa, Colorado

My parents live out at Lake Havasu in Arizona. So whenever I go out there we go for a boat ride around the lake. This photo was taken on the way back to the Marina as the sun was setting and the storm clouds were moving in. For non-locals, Lake Havasu is one of many manmade lakes along the Colorado River.

Red Warmth Of A Winter Sunrise Minolta 5D / Minolta 50mm f1.7 Lens / Singh-Ray CPL / iso 200-50mm-f4.5 / Custom WB One of the things I love about Winter here in Colorado is the way the sun manages to have these incredible sunrises and sunsets, there is something about this time of the year that turns the sky to fire a lot, and on this morning, this was no exception to the rule! Captured at Cherry Creek State Park, I froze my butt off, but it sure was worth it! Hope ya all enjoy it! / —-John ;http://www.redbubble.com/products/configure/8374272

The beauty that is the Rockies took me off-guard. Backpacking to this remote area in the High Wilderness did not disappoint. Starting off on a small trail in the San Juan mountain range, we quickly ascended above timberline. I was taken back from how much water there was all around this mountain range during the Summer months. We hiked a few miles into the high wilderness and made camp before exploring the area a bit more with what daylight we had. This place will always be in my memory; we sat in this area “glassing” for deer, elk, and big horn with binoculars. Seeing animals in their natural environment always puts you at peace when you’re out hiking or backpacking – and it’s very interesting to see the way they react. Until the sun went down, we watched several elk enjoying the night-time chill before we could no longer see anything visible through the binoc’s. Nature is truly wonderful and always changes you a bit when you are finished. “Genesis 1:6-8 And God said, “Let there be a dome in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.” So God made the dome and separated the waters that were under the dome from the waters that were above the dome. And it was so. God called the dome Sky. And there was evening and there was morning, the second day.” Southwestern Colorado Canon EOS 5d Mark II / Canon 17-40 f/4L / Singh Ray Circular Polarizer + Warming Filter
