BRRR-eck

SO I got a saweet deal on a town home in breck CO for a week, for those of you who dont know breck is a ski resort. Anyway I had a great week and was extremely greatful to be able to finally get away for a little bit and do some riding. It definately gota bit chilly my last two days dropping close to -10 degrees but hey its CO. So I didnt take nearly as many pictures as I was hoping or should have for that matter but I did go out on one of those cold nights to lake Dillon and took a few shots.

The above is a shot of some peak I cant remember the name of but its near lake Dillon heading west. this is about a two minute exposre and I color corrected the shot so that its a dang near perfect representation of what my naked eye saw that night (obviously I didnt see that text floating above the peak but I thought it looked cool ). The only thing I dont really like about this shot is that the shore line is leading the eye out of the image on the lower left hand side but oh well it was freezing, late, and Im on vacation so .... yeah still no excuse.

The shot above is the same peak as the previous one just a bit further down the shore line. The ghostly visor is my friend micah, needless to say he was FREEZING, but a good sport for hanging with me in the cold, also a great border we had a blast tearing it up this week !!! This shot was taken with a bare handheld 430ex camera left at full power first curtain and a two min exposure, I did a little CC in post as well as a bit of burning, the text floating in the air however is completly original and we were very fortunate to have his name floating above the lake that night.


The above is same location as the previous one (same big rock that micah is leaning up against) just a different angle. The mountains in the back is where the ski resort is and also where my amazing town home was located for my weeks stay, once again AMAZING DEAL! I did some CC work in post and decided to punch up the levels a bit for this one as well as the saturation. Two min exposure nothing special.

All in all I gota say that Colorado has got to be one of the most beautiful places on earth and I am greatful to be blessed by living here.
