Description What an absolutely amazing sunset we had here in Denver, Colorado a few nights ago! I will say this, we got a little soaked from the thunderstorm and the rear flank downdraft winds made it quite windy. Obviously not what you want when you're photographing flowers. So ya, there is a little movement in this one but ya take what mother nature gives ya and I walked away a very happy camper! Colorado sure doesn't disappoint during monsoon season!

The GardenWondrous and always patient
the greenery that suddenly emerges
in place of an undying slate
of brown and orange shades.

kkart In reply to NBrownPhotography [2014-09-03 19:19:45 +0000 UTC]

lol not really. I think you might be thinking of Neutral Density filters which are completely sold and used for slowing down exposure speed...often used in photographing waterfalls to give water a very soft look. 
A Graduated Neutral Density filter is used to even out the exposure between the sky and the ground. www.luminous-landscape.com/tut…

Funny. Kansas is the "sunflower" state and has no mountains. You've got the mountains in your state and while hundreds of tourists are driving past you (towards the mountains, many after passing through Kansas) you're taking pictures of Colorado sunflowers (albeit with mountains in the distance.) Just enjoying the irony. I appreciate all your photos but especially your sunflower photos. You've got it down pat.

It makes me so happy to see your photographs, you capture our home state in such a perfect way!  Just gotta love that Colorado sunset.
