Summer in Crested Butte

A weekend in Crested Butte turned into some of the best landscape photography opportunities ever. The town itself ranks in my top 2 "Colorado" towns (right next to Leadville) and definitely rivals it in rugged beauty.

  • It's funny when isolating a single subject can help capture the beauty of an entire mountain range ... when the mountain range isn't even in the picture.  This is a single tree in a lake outside of Crested Butte, backlit by the sun just rising over Mt. Crested Butte.

    There was a substantial cloud layer above us as we munched dinner waiting with tripods and shutter releases ready. As the official sunset time came and went we kept everything set up and all of the sudden the evening light spread down the mountain, there must have been a clearing somewhere over Utah that we hit at the last minute. As the light spread across the mountains the reflections became even more astounding at this location outside of Crested Butte. While I'm being selective with what I post here, I have several more that are equally astounding but this one struck a special chord with me.

  • We stopped at this hill outside of Crested Butte that was covered in it's entirety by different varieties of wildflowers.  Simply amazing, and a great place to work on depth of field.
