Mt Crested Butte is alway epic whether it's covered with snow for skiing or surrounded by wildflowers in the summer.

Are you photographing the wildflowers this summer?

The almost reflection

For the few reflection timelapses and panoramas that I have captured, there are probably at least twice as many nights where there was no reflection.

It's important to accept that and work with the conditions. Both of these shots turned out pretty well despite the lack of perfectly calm conditions.

Beyond the landscape

And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. -Genesis 1, Bible

When visiting some of the most popular locations, sometimes the transient conditions like the smoke in the sky are what make your photos unique.

On this night at the highest point in the most visited national park, the conditions were not clear as predicted as a fire started and there was smoke passing through the entire night. This was the only night of my trip where I was able to photograph both the Orion sky in the evening and the core of the Milky Way in the morning so I decided to see what I could capture.

This is the third image from that night and by far my favorite so far. The smoke creates a trailing effect across the sky and really glows along the horizon from the light pollution.

I guess I should not be surprised that there was smoke in the Great Smoky Mountains, but I was able to capture a week later under very clear skies nearby this composition. Very excited to edit that image soon!

Have you visited the Smoky Mountains?

Cliff Palace, the crown jewel of Mesa Verde National Park!

Can you imagine climbing down the side of the wall using just carved out hand and foot slots which were designed to only be used in a very specific way?

In order to ensure some level of security an privacy, the entrance paths were designed so that if you didn't start at the first hold with the correct hand or foot, you would fall to your death in the canyon instead of arriving at the cliff dwelling below.

There are dozens of these stunning structures throughout the park and many are pretty well preserved a thousand years after being built due to the way they are shielded by the canyon walls.

If you have the opportunity, I highly recommend visiting the park and taking the tour of Cliff Palace.

The same location in both images on the same night.

The change in perspective is quite extreme between the nearly 300 degree panorama and the 14mm stack!

Have you tried show casing the same landscape at different perspectives?
