Description
Regardless of what a lot of photographers say, there is a great deal of "luck" involved with getting a photo. I am not really sure if there is any greater luck than the weather itself. I only have control over my camera, things like fstop, exposure, shutter speeds, lenses, filters, deciding when to click the shutter. Often times I am presented with skies which are completely cloudless when I wanted clouds for instance and every once in awhile mother nature gives me something to where I am literally screaming at the sky in excitement.Fog in Colorado is a very uncommon thing and for this, I just happened to pick the right place to have as a meeting point for the first day of our annual "Fall In Colorado Photo Meetup" this past Friday; the shores of Lake Estes in Estes Park. We were presented with a scene that was almost unworldly at times with the rising sun backlighting the fog and creating an almost surreal glow about it. I just wish we had weather like this a great deal more often! The title of the piece...it's breast cancer awareness month and the colors seemed to fit that quite well.

Truly awe inspiring scene, so superbly captured, and the words you have written are so accurate I agree with you view of luck etc. This is such a beautiful scene, the colours and for me the fog rolling in, very atmospheric indeed. Simon

lucky bastard!
Great shot, great composition, great colors! Heard the colors this yr are going to be/are extremely vibrant because of how dry it's been.
Congrats, brother!
