This topless covered wagon may be stalled out but at least it has found a prime sunset parking spot in the valley.

A railroad trestle is reflected in the waters of the Cache La Poudre river at sunset.

An incredibly peaceful evening in early autumn. One of those moments in time you wish you could go back and soak in for hours more.

Few things are more iconic than this majestic peak. I believe winter provides the best version for Hallett photographs such as this. Hallett peak, Col

This massive thunderhead presented itself during golden hour for the perfect amount of illumination. This storm was probably more than 30 miles away

From the sound of the rushing waters, to the beautiful colors of the Autumn season, I found nothing disappointing about this little cascade hidden amo

This raccoon takes refuge in a large cottonwood tree, making for a perfect vantage point to observe wild photographers.

Behind The Lens

Location

Along the Cache La Poudre River National Heritage Area.

Time

I believe this was taken during late afternoon.

Lighting

Sunlight was at my back and this enables me to capture good light and colors throughout the image.

Equipment

Nikon D850 and Tamron SP 150-600 G2. Handheld, smooth arm tracking enabled. ;)

Inspiration

Bald Eagles are a majestic bird species and always worth viewing/capturing whenever possible.

Editing

Yep, just the standard cropping, color, and detail enhancements in adobe camera raw.

In my camera bag

Nikon cameras, Tamron SP lenses, plus accessories like a variable ND filter.

Feedback

Plan your trip and take notes for where to find these birds. This will help to hopefully find them when the conditions are favorable for capturing the shot you imagined, or maybe even better. You can't plan your lucky moments, but you can be ready for them!
