Description In The Evening

I couldn\'t sleep, to damn hot, so I figured I would get up and process some of the shots I took last night at Washington Park in Denver of the sunset. This is one of those shots. Quite a gorgeous evening last night, a lot of people out, heck even had a Bagpipe band. I would have stayed longer if I hadn\'t been sick lol Thoughts welcomed and print to come!

Shot info:
Minolta 5D
Minolta 18-200 DT Lens
Dynatran 8180 Tripod
Singh-Ray CPL
Raw Processed and put thru HDR in Photomatix

Not all all.

I think the clouds in Denver must really like you because I never see clouds such as what I see you take. Gimme some clouds over this way!

Sounds like a joint photo shoot to me! Ya'll should get together when you get your new camera and have him take you where the clouds are the best to capture! THAT would be the best teaching you could ever ask for, in my opinion

Oh yeah, that would be sooo awesome. The problem for me is I don't drive so I don't get to go to all these fancy places.

Well, I guess it all depends on how far you live from John. He loves showing people around Colorado, as he's met with and driven around his friends from dA before.

I just think you might want to check it out

CrustyMuffin In reply to osagelady [2007-07-26 04:16:16 +0000 UTC]

I will most likely take up that offer. I do not get to see much of Denver or the "photography hotspots" and I know I can trust him.

CrustyMuffin In reply to kkart [2007-07-24 18:40:27 +0000 UTC]

That's true. And I'm pretty southwest so either the sky is gray or crystal blue, lol.

very beautiful but almost chaotic. I think the road at the bottom is a bit distracting. But wonderful picture non the less. You are a great photographer!

kkart In reply to pixlepixie [2007-07-24 17:33:47 +0000 UTC]

Well thank you! I actually left the road in there on purpose to give it a tad of depth but also because of sheer contrast in color and texture

I used to go fishing with my Grandpa at this lake when I was really little. They lived a few blocks west of the lake. I miss that old house, it was wonderful...thank you for bringing back that memory.

Beautiful photo too!

I can still smell the air in that place when I think about it ...Grandma had grapes, flowers, rhubarb and the front yard had a wall of stairs up to the house, I loved that old house. Funny, I still have dreams where I am in that house! They sold the house when I was about 19 and moved to a smaller house in Littleton before their deaths. I drove by the house in Denver quite some time ago and it looked so small, funny how buildings seem so much bigger when you are a little kid

do you know the address?

sevenwillow In reply to kkart [2007-07-25 15:53:52 +0000 UTC]

I will have to try and remember it, I think it was on Ogden Street and it was on the east side of the street.

sevenwillow In reply to kkart [2007-07-25 20:09:34 +0000 UTC]

I took a trip down Ogden Street on Google maps, I am not sure where it is on the street but 760 Ogden looked pretty close as far as the rock wall up to the house. THe house looks really different and it was not all painted white, it was a brick home and it had a front porch (which could have been enclosed like the address above shows) and it did not have a second story. It did have a basement that was not visible from the street. I will have to ask my mom what the address was. I would love it if you could take a picture for me

This...is freakin' awesome. I think this is one of your most beautiful shots. May not be the best technically speaking, but the power and beauty and grandeur in this one are just...incredible. Thanks for sharing.
