Few pics Colorado Trail on Kenosha Pass

[Errinjan]

Here's a few images I shot today up near Kenosha Pass
Forest Road 126
I didn't notice the white balance setting on my camera was set for inside, oops!
Black and White to the rescue!

Kind of Ansel Adams -esque!

Nice! I actually like those better than it would have looked in color!

I see that Bunyon and babe were probably working on their tans in Como. The weather looks warm and sunny..!

Nice Errin!!

Thanks, I'm loving this camera. The first day we moved out here. A good DLSR went to the top of the want list.

[Heather]

Awesome!! The middle one looks Van Gogh -ish. Thanks for sharing, Errin and Jan!

[Errinjan]

I shot these also, a JK Ruby and a beautiful restored K5 Blazer

I really like the middle one. The clouds look crazy, great shot!

Sweet. I have to say that if I were to ever do a restoration on any 4x4 rig, I would be goddamned if I would ever take it out on the trails....There is a reason the last 4xs I have had are a crappy black primer color. You take nice rigs on the trails and actually use them hard, you better get used to the 'primer look' or spending a silly amount of time polishing them. Prior to the last batch of 4xs, I had a nice F150 that I babied. Had a sweet paint job on it, all buffed and cute. I finally came to the conclusion that I was spending way more time and energy keeping my cute paint job looking cute than doing a lot of other things, like wheeling, that made more sense. I tried once more after this when I did a sweet fiberglass tilt hood on a 69 Bronco restoration. Put a nice metallic blue paint job on it when I was done. Within a month the thing was flat black and was the last rig I ever painted a nice color. That was back in the mid 80s.

I agree and told him so. He was adamant about using it for what it was designed for. He did all the work himself. Now he doesn't take it places where he knows it will get damaged. But running easy trails in the snow was worth the risk to him.

We came across a SUV by himself buried in the snow, judging by the mood of his female companion they'd been there awhile. Lucky we came along or they would have been there awhile. After Stan pulled him out he got struck turning around. Then Brian hooked him to get him going again.

nice pics. They look almost like they were taken with IR film.

[Errinjan]

I've been interested in IR for awhile. I have a older Sony Digital that is IR capable. Just never got around to get the filters for it. I've always liked B/W images, with digital it's easy.

[Funrover]

That is kinda sweet!

[Patrolman]

Good looking photos. I wonder if there is some way to "hand paint" them digitally. I have a friend who used to do b/w film and then hand paint sections. Think of the 2 little kids in b/w and the boy has the rose that is hand painted.

[Errinjan]

You can do anything digitally, it's jaw dropping what you can do.

[Chris]

Yeah, there's now a 99¢ app for that Jeff.

[Errinjan]

Yes there is, for the Iphone it's called Color Splash- I for got I had it, it's been out for a long time

Thanks, Errin!! The first one is my desktop background now. :thumb:
