From the Summit of Pikes Peak | Elevation- 14,110 Feet During a recent trip to Colorado, I had the good fortune of taking in two sights that were on my “must visit (aka must photograph)” list. No, I don’t really have a list per say, but I do have a mental compilation of several places that I really, really want to travel to. During this trip I was able to put a virtual check mark beside the Garden of the Gods and the summit of Pikes Peak, both in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Now, aside from the Appalachian Mountains in Central Pennsylvania, I have never seen mountains. When I laid my eyes on the Rockies, complete with their snowy peaks I was in awe and absolutely could not put my camera down.  On the day of our trip up the slope of Pikes Peak via the Cog Railway, I scoffed at warnings of the thin air at the top. However, as I reached the summit a pretty harsh headache set in. I’m not sure if I’m ready to blame it on the altitude, but it may have been because of just that. I snapped a few frames while at the top, pushing my total for the short trip to near 2,000 photos. As we descended the mountain and almost immediately left for the airport, dreams of editing and processing the HDR images danced in my head. We arrived back in North Carolina in the wee-hours of the morning and I went straight to bed. This was the first image I edited when I awoke.

I’ve been quite busy lately with a lot of things that come up in life. For that reason, I haven’t been able to get out for the sole purpose of shooting very much this summer. After another busy day, I looked out the window to notice that the sun was setting and it was such a clear, cool evening that I had to grab my gear and run down to the river. I caught this “Painted Sky” just after the sun receded behind the trees along the Neuse River in New Bern, North Carolina. Some times it doesn’t take a whole planned out day to get a great shot, sometimes it can be a spur-of-the-moment, grab your gear and run kind of time. I hope you like the new look of my blog page. I have also added a brand new “Prints” section. You can click the button to the right to be redirected to uprootedphotographer.com/prints. This photo is now available for order over there. I appreciate you taking a look!  “Painted Sky” New Bern, North Carolina ©2010 Zach Frailey

I had the wonderful opportunity to tour PNC Park today. I had a great time seeing the stadium from many points of view that patrons aren’t usually able to enjoy. I walked the tunnels, sat in the dugout and checked out the view from the press box. I love this stadium, team and city.©2010 Zach Frailey
