I been out to the Bells a couple times in fall and got pretty good shot, pretty good is not good enough for me, damn that rope line. The lake was low and there wasn't any snow, although I did get some good shots with a full moon. A tip is to get there before the sun raises to get a reflection of the lake, once the sun gets too high a wind starts to blow in the valley. I'm looking at the weather forecast in Aspen, and it looks dry too bad Maroon Bells will have to wait another year.
Great and accurate video about shooting the Bells. Shot them many times and each time has given a unique result yet always beautiful. As for the composite suggestion, the only way I would agree with you on that is if full disclosure is made that the photo is a composite. I have done so myself and am very upfront that the photo has been altered more than the typical stuff. Not wrong to do it but be sure to be honest. Enjoyed the video. You gained a follower.
I just came back from Maroon bells after seeing the beautiful fall colors. Its definitely worth the drive, hike and waking up early morning. I however did not get the perfect 4 but I will try to compose it on photoshop as you mentioned on your video. I hope to go back again when the maroon peak is covered in snow :) thank you for the informational video!!
I was there in 2017 and 2019. Sadly, what actually happened was back in 2018 winter I believe, there was a "tremendous" amount of snow that created a bunch of avalanches, thus fallen trees, and hence blockage of some of the water. that is why you see sooo many trees on the ground. Guess I was lucky in 2017 when I got my shot in before all this happened. Wait a minute, I knew you looked familiar !!!!!!!!!! I saw you at the bottom near Mt. Sneffels in 2107! you were leaving while i was walking up to that small beaver pond to get that Mt. Sneffels reflection, LOLOL. Glad to see you posting again, LOL.

Loving the new content!
Great video, as always. I'm headed to Colorado for fall colors for the first time this year. I'm going to check out your fall colors tutorial.
What a coincidence. I will visit Colorado this October and I plan to visit this place and maybe take some pictures there.
Another great video with some of the best production quality on YT. Oh and so glad to see ya back on YT.
Many thanks! Been super busy on other projects but it's great to be back. Lots of cool new stuff coming up!

love the combo of canon full-frame and 1911!
50Megapixels and 45ACP. Winning combo!
Great Mr Lewis
i was there last fall and all the photographers (including me) were lined up right next to the shore of the lake.
Yep. Very popular spot. But soooooo beautiful! Popular for a reason...
As soon as I learn a photo is a composite, the value drops significantly. Idk why, but for me it cheapens it.
Indeed. In that case, you probably better stay clear of anything that says "AI." You'll probably have a stroke.
