Longs Peak Sunrise Panorama

[Jim Dockery]

I got up around 2 am for a headlamp hike to get here before sunrise. Well worth it, even if there weren't many good clouds (typical summer morning).

I like the viewpoint for this sunrise - good reflections in the shadows down in front helps to make up for the stark raving clear skies.

When I looked at this after posting it seemed a bit soft, like a number of other shots by other people I've reviewed. When I opened it in PS it looked fine, so I reposted it to Flickr for a test. Let me know what you think.

Hey Jim,

To keep it sharp max sure it’s width is a max of 1200 pix.

Or create a media gallery and post it in there, then click on Camera icon when creating your post to link it into the post.

Thanks Jim, I'll make a media gallery or just link to Flickr.

What’s cool with the media gallery is that any photos you put in there will also then be a part of the random photos that show at the top of the forum list.

Really nice. I'd hate to live on Colorado's front range. There'd be a lot of early mornings as that's when the light is best.

Nice one, even without clouds. The color and reflection make it.

Looks well worth the trip for a nice shot, Jim. Interesting also to note the difference in softness in the first v the second, as well as JF's comment.
