Berthoud Pass

Russell Peak

The SE Face of Russell Peak near Berthoud Pass.

Had a nice day of skiing on the Westside of Berthoud Pass today.  I got a nice looking Panoramic taken with wide angle though.

Meeker and Longs, yet again.

I wanted Dreamweaver badly today, but as the below image shows…it wasn’t in.

Dreamweaver is the right hand snow line, but it was not enough for a solo

The wind also aided my decision to take it easy.

The wind was alive up there, looking along Lady Washington's South Face.

Despite this, I found an excellent stash of ice below Chasm Lake.  I monkeyed around for a bit with a little ice climbing and a little dry tooling.  Good times!

The ice flows from Chasm Lake above. This was taken after my play time.

Along the base of the ice flows.

Naturally, I was alone and without a tripod.  Therefore, I have no really cool self portraits of my climbing.

A Black and White with Color

First attempt at this Layer Mask business....not sure if I'm a fan yet.

Here’s what I did with Photoshop, the background image is the standard photo, then next layer is the BW. I colored the BW layer with Black on the bottom half (the color section) this brought through the colors of the original background….well, see if I get better.

The Diamond of Longs Peak

Darkerened the blue, lightened the red and yellow to add to the contrast depth. Shot with the Canon 30D 50mm ISO 800 1/200 sec f/22

An afternoon through the Evening

Tuesday, November 15th, 2011

The afternoon started with a swim in the snow up a hill by Frisco, CO

The swim afforded me this shot peering into the Gore Range.

From a near by vantage, I snagged up this shot. Then, called it a day after a few hours of snow groveling.

Then, this evening or not really, almost this morning I got a few shots of the Flatirons.

I got a total of four shots in about 45 minutes.

The Full Moon to my back was a wonderful fill.
