Behind The Lens
Location
Maroon Bells and Maroon Lake Aspen Colorado A reflective lake and two giant snow-striped mountaintops, named Maroon Peak and North Maroon Peak, anchor a blissful panorama exemplified by a symphony of color that changes with the seasons. Located just 10 miles west of Aspen or 16 from Snowmass up Maroon Creek Road off Hwy. 82 in a glacial valley, the 14,000-foot peaks (fourteeners) truly epitomize the beauty of the Rocky Mountains. Hiking trails provide access to plenty of photo-worthy scenes in the White River National Forest, including hypnotizing wildflower fields, fly-fishermen seeking catches in tranquil Maroon Lake and brilliant fall colors on aspen trees. More than 300 million years of geologic activity, including sedimentation, uplift and erosion by wind, water and ice, are credited to the creation of Maroon Valley. According to the US Forest Service, the mountains received their distinctive maroon coloring from the weathering of hematite, an iron-bearing mineral, while Maroon Lake occupies a basin that was sculpted by Ice-Age glaciers.- Colorado InfoTime
This photo was taken at mid day! Most all the hikers were having lunch at the picnic area! I saw my opportunity to take a photo with few hikers on the back trail or around the lake!Lighting
Watching the weather before you hike! The beautiful clear blue sky of Colorado is a must against the golden aspens!Equipment

Very simply.....the absolute beauty of what I was looking at. How could anyone not take a photo? (If they have a camera! :-) )Editing
No, all of my photos are "what you see is what you get".In my camera bag
Camera, extra batteries, monkey tripod, battery chargerFeedback
Stay calm, wait for people to clear, wait for the clouds to clear and take several shots! It is a digital world so take as many as you want and evaluate each of them later! :-) The main purpose of taking photos is to enjoy what you see and enjoy being able to capture it! Taking the photo will help keep it in your memory forever!
