Description A late summer sunset over misty Rocky Mountains in Colorado. I caught a glimpse of this through my rear view mirror while driving home. I grabbed my camera and went strait back to the same spot to capture the scene before it was gone.

--== Equipment ==--

Body: Canon EOS Digital Rebel XSi
Lens: Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-f/5.6 L IS USM
Focal Length: 330mm
ISO: 100
Exposure: 1/100 @ f/16

--== Telephoto Landscapes ==--

This shot, along with many of my recent landscape shots, was taken with my new Canon 100-400mm telephoto zoom lens. Inspired by a recent article in ND Magazine by Andy Mumford, I decided to give it a try. I can't say how excited I was to get some really interesting shots! Much of the time, I don't have time to get out into the wilderness or the mountains where I can make good use of a wide angle lens. With telephoto, I can reach past all the foreground clutter of city and cars and all that, and capture something amazing.
