Morning photo: First light

A sunrise series

Sunrise Summit County

Pre-sunrise light tinges the clouds above Guyot and Baldy in Summit County, Colorado.

SUMMIT COUNTY — The past few weeks, that magical sunrise light has been coinciding with the time that I need to get my son up and ready for school, so the photography hasn’t been happening, at least early in the morning. But Wednesday, we left for school early so he could catch the team bus for a ski race at Loveland, and I headed from the school straight to shore of Dillon Reservoir to snap a few shots.

A little more light on the foreground, along with some Photoshop tweaking to bring out some the detail in the shadows.

Fourteeners!
