I was fortunate to be able to squeeze in one last backpacking trip this week before I take off for Norway on Saturday. I camped up at Columbine Lake, a high alpine lake situated at 12,685 feet elevation, among the rolling tundra in the mountains between Silverton and Telluride. Though just a quick one-night trip, I had a lot of fun shooting photos and I think I came away some good ones.
I am getting really excited for my trip to Norway, but it’s still tough to leave Colorado right as it’s getting into the beautiful summer primetime here.

#1132 and #1133 are sweet and the rest are really nice too. What a good last CO trip before Norway. So, how long will you be gone? I’m already looking forward to your photos. How do you like the long exposures with the E-620, assuming these were taken with it?
Thanks Justin,
I’ll be gone for 6 weeks… woohoo! As for the E-620, so far I think it does a great job with long exposures, noticeably better than the E-420. The images are pretty clean, as you can sort of tell from the above picture. Perhaps they’ve improved the noise-reduction flow of their image processor? I don’t know, but I like it.
Mmmmmm, nice!! Have a fantastic trip and be sure to post some pics along the way!
Way cool, love those moonlight shots and your flower shot with harsh sun was GREAT!!!! Norway, I am jealous – have a great time, cant wait to see your pics
