Keblers Last Light
I'd always wanted to photograph the fall colors in Colorado and when my coworker, Ana, asked if I would join her, I quickly said yes and booked the trip. We met up with Nick Selway in Breckenridge, then drove to Crested Butte by way of Ohio Pass.
One of the most well known areas to photograph fall colors near Crested Butte is the "Kebler Pass" area. As soon as we turned onto highway 12 we could see why. The entire area was pathed in yellow and orange leaves (ok, some green as the peak-colors hadn't quite hit). We came to an S-curve with a gorgeous view of the entire valley and I immediately pulled over and grabbed the long lens.
We had taken so long driving up Ohio Pass that we were starting to rush for sunset. The sun was starting to set behind the Beckwith Mountains and I noticed how it was starting to light up a hillside of colorful trees. When it hit the tops of the trees it bathed them in a beautiful glow. I kept shooting for so long that Ana had to scream at me to get back in the car so we could find a spot to photograph sunset.
