A different time of day

Longs Peak from the South, Late Afternoon. From Sugaloaf Mountain, 2012

If you always go to a certain spot at the same time of day to photograph, try switching up a bit and go to that same spot at another time of day. For example, I nearly always go to Sugarloaf Mountain for sunrise because I love how the sun comes up over the Great Plains to the east and illuminates the high country of the Indian Peaks Wilderness and the Continental Divide.

Yesterday, though, I changed it up and went up to this favorite spot for late afternoon and sunset. The light was completely different (of course!) and a whole new array of photographic possibilities presented themselves.
