Morning photo: First light

The early morning hours …

Peak One Frisco Colorado

A nice morning portrait of Peak One towering above Frisco, Colorado.

SUMMIT COUNTY — I’ve been getting up early the past few weeks to do some sunrise photography — plus it’s a good excuse to get some exercise for me, and the dogs. Yesterday morning was wonderful, with a broken low cloud deck creating a dramatic scene above the reservoir and around our local peaks. Other days, I use the reservoir surface as close-up mirror to enhance foreground lighting. In any case, it’s never the same twice, so I never get tired of photographing these scenes.

Sun up!

Looking east at Tenderfoot Mountain.

Still morning waters.

  1. Wow, your shots are so lovely! =)

  2. with all these ‘calendar’ shots you’re coming up with lately, i suggest making a calendar for sale…but, to engage your largest audience, i would digitally drop in cheerleaders from the NFC (or AFC) wielding huge auto-repair tools and gadgets. this way, you get everyone from naturalists to motor sports enthusiasts…and everyone inbetween.
