Denver PhotoWalk & Taking a break on the hike
Denver PhotoWalk!
I need a Denver Expert to help me plan a route and stuff! Any volunteers?
I’ve never done a PhotoWalk in Denver and I am excited! I’ll be there (by accident via a long international connection from Yellowstone to Bangkok) for about 10 hours, and I thought it would be fun to come see the city, take photos, and meet you all! Let’s do it…

If you’ve never been to one of these, they are very fun! I’ll be setting up in various locations to take photos. I’ll talk through all my settings. I’ll talk about compositions or ideas… I also talk a lot about shots that I don’t take and why I don’t take them… anyway, I’m there for questions or, well, anything!
Fake Reflection Shots
I never fake my reflection shots, and here is a good way to tell. Now, even before telling you this, I suppose, naturally, it is possible to fake it the way I am telling you, but it is just a lot harder, I guess! Anyway, if you look at all the structures above the water, you’ll see that not all of them are in the reflection because of my angle. As just a little example, you can see all the mountains in the top, but not in the bottom. If you ever see EXACTLY the same thing, either it is faked, or the camera has to be like one inch above the water!
You can also see this effect in a previous photo I posted while over Lake Hayes. Just click on the “New Zealand” link above in the category to find that one! 🙂
Daily Photo – Taking a break on the hike
While at that amazing retreat called “Aro-Ha” here near Queenstown, we’d take amazing hikes every day… and had so much fun! Here, we stopped for a little break by this perfect little pond. It’s amazing to me how many picture-perfect spots are all over the landscape here… I’ll never get used to it!
