Garden Of the Gods Park, outside of Colorado Springs, Colorado, is without a doubt one of my all time favorite places to shoot at….the light there just dances, especially during the golden hours just after sunrise…..Pike’s Peak is in the background, with the wind blowing the snow into the sky. / Thoughts welcomed!

Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado…..and how I love shooting up there when the winter weather begins to roll on in…the wind is bad, the air—-freezing cold, but the images that one can capture are filled with atmosphere and drama, case in point, this shot here. I about froze my butt off getting this shot of Mummy Mountain, but I wanted something that really showed all the detail here….that represented what it’s all about being a nature photographer in Colorado…... / Thoughts welcomed! / HDR blending used to bring out more dramatic light and detail / John

A HDR image of Lake Dillon, CO from the East side at sunset. It had snowed all the week before and the lake was iced over, reflecting the sunset beautifully.

One of the many stunning views from the top of Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado. I loved the patterns the clouds made on the ground.
-
I love elements of American typography. It’s like it’s caught in a time warp. Especially out here in the wild west.

Winter rolls along in the Colorado High Country along the Mount Evans Wildernes. I decided to do this shot in B&W because I really wanted to emphasize the cold, the drama, and the atmosphere as a whole. Your thoughts, as always, are appreciated! / —John

This past week saw me shooting like crazy, making a record 3 trips to the Mount Evans Wilderness Area and surrounding areas in 4 days. Without a doubt, this scene is one that just has to smack travelers and tourists in the face. situated at 10,600 ft (3,230 m) above sea level, the view literally comes out of no where. You round this corner unexpectedly on a twisty road, and all the sudden out of no where you are greeted with this huge lake and THIS scene of mountains and it floors you. The scene itself is just so, well, incredible, like something you usually only see in a fine art painting, or in some distant land in National Geographic….honestly, it is one of the most amazing views I believe I have ever seen. Personally I much prefer it to The Maroon Bells which is better known, and why it’s better known is beyond me. / So hang tight folks, I have MANY new photos to come and share with you all. Let me know what ya all think!

It looks like the majority of the shedding for the mountain goats is complete – just after a big snow up high. It won’t be long now until winter returns to the high country. That white spot you can see in his eye is a mound of snow. In the full frame version, viewed at pixel level, you can see the entire scene reflected in his eye! Mt Evans Wilderness Area Mountain Goat (Oreamnos americanus) / Mt Evans, CO / Sony A700 / Sigma 300mm f/2.8 / Giottos Tripod & ballhead ISO200, 1/3200sec, f/4.5 518 views at last count

Seeing a big Bull Elk throw back his massive head and let out his piercing bugling sound is truly one of the miracles of the Rocky Mountain Autumn Season…I still get chills when I am blessed with this amazing experience.

We had our first real snow of the season last night, so I was more than ready to head out to my favorite fox location early this morning.. The foxes were a little more subdued today and harder to find (but easier to track). This male was reluctant to leave cover for a cleaner shot, but he still looks great against the snow. Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes) / Wheatridge, CO / Sony Alpha700 / Sigma 300/2.8 / Giottos tripod, Acratech ballhead, Wimbereley Sidekick ISO400 f/5.6 1/60sec +1EV

Sure, stick your nose right in my lens hood. This little vixen obviously feels comfortable enough with me that she approaches me pretty closely. So closely I was afraid I’d have a nose print on my front element. This is a full frame shot, no cropping. Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes) / Wheatridge, CO / Sony a700 / Sigma 300mm f/2.8 / Giottos tripod, Acratech ballhead, Wimberley Sidekick ISO400, 1/640sec, f/5.6, +1EV

A New Years Sunrise While not a sunrise in the traditional sense of the word, but it sure seemed to be with the sun hiding behind the clouds, back lighting and glowing everything around me in a colorful haze in Moraine Park inside Rocky Mountain National Park. It was nothing but stunning! Quite the way to start and kick off the New Years I think! Processed in Photomatix HDR with 3 RAW files, then output through PSP 10, , shot on my 5D and Minolta 18-200 DT using a Singh-Ray CPL, and then hiding behind the car to shield myself from 80 MPH wind gusts lol The crazy thing is, the haze in the background, is actually from the snow that was falling and whipping around. Hope ya all like it! / —-John

A Fiery Dawn A Late Autumn Sunrise captured at Lake Estes in Estes Park, Colorado. It was to die for, to say the least….just the distant sound of the Elk bugling is about all you heard. I hope ya all like it! / —-John Make: KONICA MINOLTA / Model: MAXXUM 5D / Shutter Speed: 1/40 second / F Number: F/4.5 / Focal Length: 24 mm / ISO Speed: 200 More can always been seen on my website at jdebordphoto.com

I decided to take a day off from work and hit my fox location – I figured it would be less busy on a weekday, and the foxes might be more relaxed. Pock was out early, and he was all over the place, trotting here and there in search of breakfast. He’d trot down one trail, and a few minutes later, trot down another trail from a different direction. He didn’t mind passing close by me, he just would sit still for a photo. This vixen, the alpha female, on the other hand, was more than willing to pose for me. She perched on top of a little rise, facing east, with some lovely directional morning sun lighting her up – I don’t think I could have had better light if I had her in a studio. We tried several poses, but settled on this one as our favorite. Near the end of our portrait sitting, I noticed one of the big coyotes down the trail. he noticed the fox, but I don’t think he saw me until I walked from around the tripod – once he saw me, he took off, and the fox ducked into one of the pipe openings they use as a den. This is the new mom – at least as far as I can tell. The beta (maybe now the new alpha) was feeding her on Sunday, and her tummy does look distended and a little red. I’ll post more as the situation develops. Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes) / Wheat Ridge, CO / Sony a700 / Sigma 300mm f/2.8 / Giottos tripod, Acratech ballhead, Wimberley Sidekick ISO200, 1/400sec, f/5

Well this shot did really well over on deviantART so I thought that I would also share with you all here too. (I honestly wasn’t expecting the 1600 odd favorites it received over there, took me by surprise!) Storm clouds fight with the evening sunset over the Colorado Rockies & Longs Peak. Every now and then I like to get a little artistic with my HDR’s and this is one of those, there is no right, no wrongs when it comes to photography and artistic interpretation, and i realize that not everyone likes that, nor this style, that is fine, I respect that, but I also ask the same of you to respect my creativeness, too! Now that being said, hope ya all dig it! / John See more on my website at www.jdebordphoto.com Minolta MAXXUM 5D / Shutter Speed: 1/25 second / F Number: F/9.0 / Focal Length: 80 mm / ISO Speed: 200

Highway 72 outside the Town of Warn in Colorado. Sawtooth Peak takes the skyline and the Autumn color comes alive.

I always wanted a “classic” kind of Elk shot, where one can see the steam coming out of their nose and mouth after the Bugle, with snow falling and such, and I think I finally was able to get it ! He gave us a lot of good shots, I will say that! Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado Minolta 5D & Tamron 200-400mm lens

I picked a heck of a weekend to go back to RMNP looking for elk. A front had moved through the Front Range, bringing cold temps and snow – just the way I like it!! It’s a little late in the rut, so there weren’t a lot of crowds either (again, just the way I like it). The bad news was there were few elk, I saw no jousting, and there were few challengers. That didn’t stop this bull from responding to the few bellowed challenges issued by other bulls. This bull had a harem of less than a dozen cows, and was pretty relaxed having me photograph him. I was able to use the car as a blind and stay relatively warm and comfortable for the shoot – rare treat. Most of the time I’m out in the worst weather, struggling to stay warm and not get blown off a mountain summit. Elk (Cervus canadensis) / Rocky Mountain National Park, CO / Sony a700 / Sigma 300/2.8+1.4TC / Bean bag ISO400, f/4.5, 1/160sec
