Afternoon in Wine Country Size:16"x20" Letting the sun wash out

Letting the sun wash out some of the scene I photographed these with a hint of the Rocky Mountains in the distance prior to the sun dropping behind the mountains to end another day in Denver

The detail you find in a church is quite remarkable

The area was filled with people sledding on the fresh snow

As I had a tilt-shift lens with me the majority of the images taken on the first of the two days was with this lens as shown in the image below

As I was exploring some lights in the distance on a tree I found the bridge and later this vantage point along Clear Creek which was a great spot to capture a snowy Christmas in the Denver area

Afternoon in Wine Country Size:16"x20" Letting the sun wash outWhen visiting Napa in the fall of 2008 besides the traditional photographs of wine country, I also wanted to explore the area in a different manner as well. I tried a few concepts I was thinking about and just by playing with motion decided to use this in a few images. This motion gave the images some more depth and the image also takes on a different meaning. This image was captured at 1 45 second, using a 70mm lens hand held.
