A light dusting of snow covers the Mummy Range and Mt. Yipsilon in Rocky Mountain National Park. It was another windy morning in Rocky, but these winds have been helping to create some great clouds in the sky to add drama to the image. It's a catch-22 for sure, keeping your camera still in the high winds can be a challenge in itself. Technical Details: Canon EOS 1dsIII, 70-200mm F2.8 IS L IIColorado’s sunrises are legendary for their beauty. Open vista’s and open skies can lead to some very dramatic sunrises for sure. The Winter months tend to be most productive when it comes to dramatic sunrises. This is mostly due to the down sloping winds that help form the clouds above the peaks of the Front Range and east side of Rocky Mountain National Park. As a photographer this is both a blessing and a curse. We get dramatic sunrise with colorful skies and snow peaks. We also get to be human flagpoles attempting to stand in the wind with our camera gear in order to capture the shot. I’m certainly not complaining and with the colorful skies we’ve been having you certainly find my volunteering for human flagpole duties in the future.
