Camping in Colorado with a Fuji GL 690

Couple of things...

I have lived and worked in Aspen as a full time photographer shooting advertising, editorial and now fine for about 20 years, I spend tons of time in the areas that you were ( West Maroon Pass ).

You probably needed to use a warming filter because with elevations of 8,000-12,400 feet things are going to look awfully retro ( too flat, blue ) in terms of your resulting images. This Summer has been by far the most green and vibrant the state has ever been since I moved here and these photos simply fall well short of showing that.

Maybe some may think they like that look, but a warming filter would have helped immensely here, certainly more than any corrections in scanning or post.
 
Raid,

The only lens that has the EBC (multicoating) made for the G690 BL, GL690, and GM670 is the 100/3.5AE. All other lenses are single coated. The non AE 100/3.5's are all single coated.

Cal

So I have both types of lenses then. Thanks.
 
No ladies on that trip. Just the guys.

The ladies were on a bachelorette.

@KM-25, Thanks for the tip regarding the warming filter. Good to think about.

Here are a few more shots.

I went on a hike through Maroon Bells near Aspen and came out on the other side - Crested Butte. I hiked about 8 miles a day with my GL690 and 100mm lens. I think it was worth it.

Here are some of the shots of the scenery and my buddies.

This is wonderful
 
I find the whole series great. Great moments, great shots and hat off to you for taking such a beast on that trip.
