Finally made it to the Paint Mines yesterday and t Finally made it to the Paint Mines yesterday and they did not disappoint. For as much as I love long miles, big days, and questionably-fun adventure - after a winter of running and training pressure I’m thoroughly enjoying reasons to slow down and explore without time or pace or pressure. Just wandering and taking photos and being present. 🩷 #coloRADo

A wildlife photography technique I love playing ar A wildlife photography technique I love playing around with is when the sun is bright and high in the sky (which is light that is not optimal for any type of photography) is to waaay underexpose the image.

I love how this image came out in lighting that would otherwise not even be worth pulling out my camera in. 🦊#DUKEFOX #redfox
