Colorado blue columbines, growing from a rocky outcropping high above Mayflower Gulch bear witness to an incredible show of sunset light. Light like this is rare, and the kind photographers strive to find. This particular light is what I call "gap light." There was a low hanging blanket of dark storm clouds covering the entire sky, but a small gap in the clouds at the horizon allows the sun to peak through for just a minute or so at sunset. The direct light of the sun combined with the ambient light reflecting off the clouds above are what makes this light so intense It also helps light the foreground, which is in the shadows, and much darker. I Triple stacked graduated neutral density filters to even out the light in the scene. The colors in this photo are untouched and represent the true intensity of the scene.

You expect me to believe those colors are real? Well I do. This is the same kind of light I saw while at the grand canyon last month and it is super intense. You seem to come away with the best photos from this location, it makes me want to head up there and shoot.

A Colorado sunset never disappoints, though this is among the best. You captured it perfectly!

That's a really great capture. For a minute I almost thought it was a volcano in your picture.
