Rays of Sunlight on the Front Range
This is a picture that really means a whole lot to me. It was the first photograph I ever really thought of. You know, when you get an idea and you REALLY wish you could get a picture just like what you saw in your mind? Well, when I was out bike riding with my mom around our neighborhood 5-6 years ago we saw this light falling over the mountains, and I left my disposable camera at home! Ever since then we've been looking out for it, and it's happened maybe twice or thrice... but I can never get to that spot where you can see it in time! It only happens about 2 weeks out of the late July-early August time frame, and those days its usually severely stormy, so the sun can't shine through. Well, Today it happened and I managed to get up to the top of the rock with my D80 just in time, and took this picture. I literally sprinted around the house and up the hill, it was amazing. With a little contrast enhancement it looks astounding! I can't believe I finally got it!!! I really hope you like it.

OHHHH you won't believe this but on the way back from the Outlets at Castlerock, it looked just like this except the ray of sun was even brighter, BUT, I didn't bring my camera :'( WEll, i'm glad you got this picture! So everyone else can see how awesome it is, at least YOU're a responsible photographer lol :D
I can see why you've wanted to capture this for so long. Absolutely brilliant. One can get the same feeling you must have had seeing the sun stretch across the valley lighting this piece and that piece. Nice job, Steve.
oh steve, it's beautiful :) It's a good idea! and you're right. i absolutely love it.
I LOVE angle rays!!!! :D Amazing!!!
