Colorado Wildflowers ~ Lupines on Kebler Pass

Another beautiful day on Kebler Pass near Crested Butte, Colorado. Is there anything more relaxing than wildflowers and aspens in summer? Yes… wildflowers and aspens with the warm sun on your face.

This image is a blend of two exposures, but instead of the normal blend to manage dynamic range, this time two images were used to extend my depth of field from the wildflower in the foreground to the aspen trees in the background.

Camera: Canon EOS 5D Mark II
Lens: EF16-35mm f/2.8L Mark II USM lens

    I love the sunburst and the illusion of it shining onto the lupines… alright, I know the sun is shining on them, but the sunburst does cause that illusion for me. I do love this photo.
