Fall River and the Mummy Range in summer 2008
American Basin, near Lake City, Colorado, shot in late July 2010.  Rented a Jeep in town the night before and drove up early in the morning.  This is a very popular spot in the summertime, but I was the only one there at 5:15 AM.  You can definitely trade some sleep for early morning solitude.
North Clear Creek Falls, along Hwy 145 between Creede and Lake City, Colorado.  You'd never expect a waterfall here!  Shot this on Velvia 50 with a 75mm lens for 5 seconds.  I like how the lens fall-off makes the orange cliffs sort of "glow" in the middle of the image.
"Snowy Range Sunrise", shot on Fuji Velvia 100 4x5 film, at the outlet of Lake Marie in southern Wyoming.  This is the northern end of the Medicine Bow Range.  Great spot to visit in early August (this was August 10, 2008).  My wife and I went up to Centennial the night before and stayed at the Mountain View Hotel, so I could "sleep in" until 4:30.  Awesome conditions, even little wisps of fog blowing east off the top of the mountains.  This photo has been exhibited in two national photography contests.
