Postcards from Nowhere: Colorado Springs
.jpg)
Above: View of the Front Range at sunset as seen from Perry Park Road between Sedalia and Larkspur.
I've been working in Colorado Springs lately. After work, weather permitting, I drive around in the mountain west of the Springs. Shooting locations include Victor, Cripple Creek, 11 Mile Reservoir, Spinney Reservoir, Hartsel, Ute Pass, Wilkerson Pass, Colorado Springs Zoo, Evergreen Lake, Golden, etc. The photos were all shot in April/May of 2014 using a Canon EOS 50D with one of the following lenses:
EF-S 17-85mm f/4.5-5.6 IS USM image-stabilized, ultra-sonic telescopic zoom
EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM image-stabilized, ultra-sonic telescopic zoom
The soundtrack for the slideshow is Demons by Imagine Dragons. I chose this song because I hear it on the radio sometimes .and I Shazam'ed it.
The images are compiled into an 7 Meg (3:04) Adobe Flash slideshow (2014_demons.swf) that will not work on an iPhone. However, everyone else on the planet should be able to open and view with any browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, etc.). To view the slideshow, just click on the photo above. If you're on a PC and want to view the slideshow as a Windows executable, you can play this version (2014_demons.exe), and it allows you to play, pause, skip forward, backwards, etc.
Image post-processing was done in Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended. The slideshow was created using Imagematics Stillmotion Pro.

Nice photos. Finally bought a real camera. Leaving for Ouray in a couple of weeks. Should get some good practice there.

We used to go to Ouray and drive over Black Bear Pass into Telluride, then come back over Immogene Pass. Beautiful area. Take lots of pics, CV. :)

Happy to see another slideshow. Have been waiting for one for a while. And... I have not forgotten about our dinner invitation. Hopefully soon. Take Care, Rob.
