Sloans Lake Colorful Sunrise Building I chose the just photograph

I chose the just photograph portions of the piece with the buildings filling the whole background

The contrast of the light of the ice and the darkness of the lake was caught by the camera as a metered to allow this to happen

As I navigated the mountains in Central Colorado

Numerous cruise ships in port and the float planes arriving from their tours of the area

Normally the light we see with the first snowfall is a little later in the season and lights up the mountains in a different manner

Sloans Lake Colorful Sunrise Building I chose the just photographl went to Sloans Lake on a September morning with the goal of capturing the rising sun over the city of Denver. When I arrived the clouds were covering the city. In the matter of a few minutes they started to show the colors of the sun before sunrise which I was able to photograph. The calm winds as well as a long exposure helped add to the picture with the city and colors in the clouds reflecting in the lake.
