Dream a Little Dream Lake Size:24"x36" From my position in City

From my position in City Park I was able to position the setting sun at the Wells Fargo Building (Cash Register) and the mountains

Being at the location

Using a long lens I isolated a subset of pilings and worked to catch the reflection in Gastineau Channel

With just some clouds in the sky the stars are visible as they begin to show their motion with this length of exposure

This let me get comfortable with the different shapes and patterns prior to starting to photograph other areas

Dream a Little Dream Lake Size:24"x36" From my position in CityI could have stayed in bed and continued dreaming, however I woke up early and headed to Rocky Mountain National Park and the Bear Lake area. After photographing around Bear Lake at sunrise I hike a little over a mile to Dream Lake. As usual there was a stiff wind, and once I got to Dream Lake it just started to howl. I didn't spend much time around the lake, as this was also a scouting mission for future trips towards Dream Lake later this winter.
