Colors

Spent the weekend on a short backpacking trip in Colorado, with some decent photos of the family, but almost no landscape / scenery pics that impressed me. I took just my old trusty 50mm f/1.4 lens, which I seldom use these days, and felt restricted by its focal length (effectively 80mm). Which explains why the portraits came out fine but little else... I'm only publishing these two specimens.

Also, having backpacked in New Zealand a few months ago, I have to say, I wasn't overly inspired by the scenery. I'm not good enough to work with dry, rocky, monochromatic terrain... my heroic moments come from green trees, clear water, and blue skies. They're crutches, I know. Maybe one day.
