Photos with Dad
Almost every Saturday morning, I get up at sunrise and head for the local canyons and mountains outside of Fort Collins in my M Coupe. Traffic is non-existent, the cows aren’t wandering in the open range, the deer have called it a night, and the cyclists are still asleep. It’s just me and my coupe, and often times a lucky passenger. This week my dad rode with me. He’s been a photographer for a long, long time and has great photos from all over the world, but he’s never taken photos of a car before. It was a first for us both. We started off a little clueless and unable to figure how to get the lighting right in the locations we wanted, but eventually caught our stride. I have a feeling we’ll be trying it again sometime.
All of these locations are on the route I drive almost every week, but I had never pulled over to appreciate them before. I feel blessed to live in such a beautiful place.
I have not doctored or cropped any of these because I don’t really have that talent, but if you’d like a full size version to play with just send me an email. Here are a sampling of the results.
