Chautauqua Park – Black and White – I
Please tell me what you think about either of these three images from Chautauqua Park. These have been converted and tweaked in Lightroom from their original color captures. Also, two images are of the same basic composition, just that one is landscape oriented, while the other is portrait oriented.
Enjoy…

Chautauqua Park
After our recent blizzard storm, I knew the clouds were clearing out overnight and that the Flatirons at Chautauqua Park would be coated white in the cold cold air, that I wanted to head over there on my way to work one morning last week. So this is actually one of the last images of about 150 from that bitterly cold (-9 degrees) morning. Just before packing things up and heading the 12 miles north to work, I saw this composition at the corner of Chautauqua Park and had to grab a few frames. I liked the framing aspect of the rocks and fence in the foreground, as well as the leading lines away into the distance the fence presents on the left. And then there’s those magnificent Flatirons in the upper right third… Ah, home!
What do you think?

First Snow
We received our first measurable amount of snow this past Thursday and Friday, and today we took the kids over to a small sledding hill for some “exercise” (if you know what I mean). I think this was David’s first time sledding. (Brian went sledding with Sofia up in Steamboat back in early December.) I can’t wait to get him on skis!
