Release the shutter

Street photography introvert sharing and hoping to inspire

I hadn’t been to this area in a couple few years so I decided to load the dogs up and drive towards Red Feather Lakes, Colorado. I kindof figured the evening would be nice and I could stop along the way and find some pictures to take as the dogs soaked in the smells. This was the only one I shared on social media sites. That doesn’t mean I didn’t take any more I just didn’t really love any of the others as much as I did this one. Sometimes you just have to take in the drive.

I noticed this spot on the right as I drove towards red feather. I will include another couple pictures I gathered of this spot but it was tough lighting for me with nothing accenting the beautiful arch and a massive fucking stadium light on the little shack.

This area reminded me of a national park. I’m not sure if anyone has been to any of those but some of the entrances have these grand arches when you pass through the corridor. It almost looked to me like that was built here originally but then cars got bigger and it didn’t work anymore. I think the place is named Parvin Lake I will have to do some more research here and see what happened. I don’t hate this picture but the chain link fence takes away from what would be a nice shot.

I tried so many different things to get a picture to work here but Im not upset about it. That’s part of the journey. I released the shutter.

I think the combination of the rainy evening and there being low light added up to just be a tough picture taking evening. The scenery was fantastic and the dogs absolutely loved the new smells. Puck thinks she has to snap her jaws at every car that passes. She gets prepared sees them coming and then snaps. We had multiple talks this evening with me explaining to her she would never catch one. We also saw a k9 cop car driving in fort collins and I told them to never pick a fight with those dogs even if they think they can win. They cant.

Until next time
