This is another photo from Rainbow Curve. I’m usually not a huge fan of lens flares and I never try to get them on purpose but there is something to the way flares look like pulses going across the valley in waves that I really liked.

RAINBOW CURVE ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK TIME-LAPSE
I love being in the mountains. I dream about it often. Standing at the edge of this cliff on a crisp July morning, watching the valley below come to life, as the sun rose over the peaks is a memory I will never forget.

The valley below came to life as light filled it.
A WHOLE GREEN WORLD
As light filled the valley below it revealed a whole new world. Rays of light floated across the lush, green trees. A grassy plain with a river running through it, sprang up as if from no where.
It’s incredible how this lush world grew out of the darkness.

BREAKING THROUGH
The sun breaking the horizon is probably my favorite photo. I get to shoot it a lot because Florida is so flat. In the mountains though, you don’t get to see the true horizon. The mountain peaks make their own horizon, so I wasn’t sure if the sun breaking the mountain tops would work.
It’s not as impressive because of a lot of boring details that I won’t get into, but I still liked this photo of the sun coming over this peak and sneaking in between the layers of clouds.

Layers of color at Rainbow Curve
RAINBOW CURVE
Rainbow curve is up around 8000 feet of elevation in Rocky Mountain National Park so this was a crisp July morning.
I got there right as color started to break the horizon. It went from pitch black to beautiful layers of intense orange slowly fading into deeper and deeper blue.
