I got out for a few drives/hikes in the Front Range of the Colorado Rockies a few weeks ago. Here are a few of my favorites from the weekend:
1. Cub Lake, Rocky Mountain National Park. 24-105 L: 32mm, f/10, 1/25, ISO 100.

2. Fall River, Rocky Mountain National Park. Shifted panorama with 24mm ts-e. f/10, 1/5, ISO 100.

3. Front Range and Longs Peak from Trail Ridge Road, Rocky Mountain National Park. 24-105 L: 50mm, f/9, 1/4, ISO 100, with ND Grad. (I had to "un-do" some of the ND grad in LR, lightening it up by about 1/2 stop, because the 2-stop ND was too much.)

4. Cut in the Rock and Lightning, Rocky Mountain National Park. Shifted panorama with 24mm ts-e. f/11, 2.5 sec, ISO 50. (This shot really makes me want a lightning trigger!)

5. Dark Skies, Trail Ridge Road, Rocky Mountain National Park. Shifted and stitched with 24mm ts-e. f/11, 8 sec, ISO 50. Interesting light on this one...as the sun was setting, the storm from #4 made the underside of the clouds dark blue, but the foreground was lit up with diffused sunset light through thin clouds on the horizon. No color to the west, but it worked for shooting to the east.

8. Lincoln Lake and Foothills, Mt. Evans Wilderness. 24-105 L: 28mm, f/10, 1/30, ISO 800.

I still feel like I am learning the tilt-shift...I am liking the high resolution shifted and stitched thing, but it's a lot tougher to frame the shot when you can only see a bit at a time. It's also taking me a while to get tilt dialed in for front-to-back DOF, but once there, it sure is nice!
Any comments or critiques are appreciated!
