PHOTOGALLERY: Black and White Aspens in Dillon, Colorado
These photos were captured on a hike I took in Dillon Colorado on our Memorial Day Steemit campout.
After baking in the sun for a few days, we all decided to abandon our unshaded campsite for a few hours to seek out the comfort of some shade trees.
While some of the crew set up hammocks and napped, I wandered around taking pictures.
@torico inspired me to take some pictures of the trees.
The aspens were beautiful and I really enjoyed finding this hidden area devoid of other hikers. It was nice to relax on this trip and I'm looking forward to our next Steemit 'family' adventure.

Nice black and whites, man! Those turned out lovely.
That was so much fun! I'm almost ready to go again! This time with a LOT of shade! lol
when are we doing thai jakob? {is obsessed with thai}
IDK, let's make a date! And let's make sure we coordinate with @in2itiveart! She and I had also been talking about the Thai!
And I need some dimsum too. @rebele93, @lpfaust and I went with the extended fam not too long ago and it needs to happen again...
I'm game for Thai any time. We've been going to Phuket Thai in Louisville lately and really love it. My wife has hosted her book club there and I've considered holding our next meetup there as well.
Thanks! How is Jolie's paw? All healed I hope!
She is much better. It snagged again when she got home a couple days later, but I re-bandaged and did the shaman-daddy-treatment and she seems to be all good again, thank goodness. (I tend to internalize this stuff... :-/ I think I was more stressed than she was, TBH.)
I was actually more worried about you than I was of her. Dogs are like "Bah... it's only a flesh wound", while the owners die a little bit inside at the thought of hurting their 'babies'.
ooooh black n white! yours come out all soft n fluffy, i'm too ham fisted. prolly cause i like colors too much I want everything to be stark n moody.
love the 6th one down, looking up into the tree branches. perfection!
Thanks! I moved it to the first image of the post. B&W can be dark and moody. I challenge you to do an all Black and White photo gallery. Look at the world through a monochrome filter. Cheers, @rebele93
i've done it before with b&w photo contests, but never purposefully shot for b&w.
maybe i'll work on a b&w in the future... too many projects on my plate right now
I love the top one but wish it was a panorama so that I can see more of it. I like how the clouds are obstructing the rocks in the top picture.
yeah i need to work more on panoramas. they often turn out well if i dont get the sun in them... doh.
dig deeper into the Auto-exposure lock feature of your camera for making the exposure levels match when taking panorama pics to stitch together.
... this will allow you to add the sun to your panoramas without having trouble with stitching together images at different light/exposure levels. Easy peasy.
ty. i really need to read things. i used to do that. i need reading glasses. i realized last night i'm not reading as much because i cant focus. always thought it was my attention, but i think half is my eyes.
I lived in denial that I needed glasses for far too long.
I had better than perfect eyesight for so long. I only got glasses about 2 years ago when I finally admitted to myself that i wasn't just tired, and that it wasn't just eye strain.
I can't really see anything under 4 feet from my eyes without my glasses. My distance vision is still fine, but I'm sure it's not what it used to be. My eyes focus different from one another so I had to get prescription glasses, but you might try getting some 2x or 3x drugstore variety glasses first. It's a bitch getting old.
