Painted Mountains

A colorful sunrise at Maroon Bells near Aspen, Colorado in the fall.

After taking my target photos before/during sunrise, I started playing around. It was a beautiful morning in the national forest, at one of the most incredible and photographic locations in the world. I liked the look of a few of my long exposures, and took it to the next level - the result was this picture. After printing it in a relatively small paper print, I knew I had to have it on my wall, so I went back for a larger metal print. The result looks nearly painted - vivid colors, soft texture, and an incredible view. Perfect for alternative materials like metals and canvas.
