Mountainscapes by Luke

When we hiked in the South Colony Lakes area in July, Luke took 12 photographs. Each one turned out to be a strong composition (compared to my yield of two good compositions out of every 100 photos taken). Here are six of the photos he took in July plus a tremendous black and white photo he took on a late spring hike somewhere in the Sangres.

Looking east at the Wet Mountains, perhaps from Highway 69.

Crestone Peak in the late afternoon, from Bear's Playground.

Crestone Peak is in the foreground, with the Needle on
the left. I think this was taken on Columbia's summit.

Crestone Needle from Crestone Peak. Tiny figures are
visible on the Needle's summit in the full size picture.


Luke took this photo on a late spring hike. Every element in the photograph contributes to the composition. It merits being exhibited. Hopefully I didn't ruin this scan by altering the levels and contrast.
