Mark is the best story teller on the internet. What a set of photos, that sunset is just amazing. No better companion than a D850 though....

[@tomdullage1531]

No other photographer describes a scene with you poetry and enthusiasm, thanks Mark! The sunset shots did it for me, closely followed by the mule deer.

[@MarkSmithphotography]

Thanks so much!

[@btaleonard02]

The last shot of this video of the glorious sunset mirrored by the lake and foreground of the rocks. There are many sunning shots in this video but this last shot is the icing on the cake. Thank you for sharing your shots, your stories and your skills so generously with us!

[@xcop524]

Mark, being a Colorado native for 59 years I can tell you that I never grow tired of the mountains. My work often takes me away from Colorado, and I yearn to get back to the mountains . Your videos and pictures capture the land that I love superbly and your enthusiasm and story telling warms my heart. I am glad I got to meet you and your family at Estes Park and enjoyed our conversation.

[@MarkSmithphotography]

It was great meeting you as well and thanks for the kind words.

[@thomasphillips5850]

Mark, my God, outstanding. What else can I say. I could never pick a favorite they are all incredible. WOW. Thank you for taking us along. WOW!!!

[@aniquewaseem6259]

Your poetry is always as best as your picture. Bravo

[@marieta.s]

This place is magical. So far I haven’t seen anything impressive in the KZbin space with regard to fall colors. Your shots brought me there and made me dream of this place.

[@MarkSmithphotography]

It is magical! Thanks for the great compliments!

[@ladydara7446]

At the risk of ruining an area, Highway 92 immediately north of the Gunnison River has the most spectacular scenery I've ever seen, and I think I've gotten around a respectable bit. You deserve to experience it though, thank you for sharing your poetic creativity with us.

[@arnabchattopadhyay3921]

Yes there are people on this planet who don't have access to these places.. You are doing a great job for them! Incredible pictures!!!!

[@MarkSmithphotography]

Thanks!

Welcome, and so happy you enjoyed our special part of colorado!. I just discovered your videos and want to compliment you on how informative and helpful they are in my photography. Right now, after an epic winter, we're patiently waiting for the high country to clear of snow. The flowers, when they come, will be amazing! Come back again.

[@MarkSmithphotography]

[@sharkheadhunting]

Wow... breathless sceneries 👍

[@BigRockNor]

Stunning!!!

[@MarkSmithphotography]

Thanks

[@gordroberts53]

As Tom Dullage says below, "...no other photographer describes a scene with your poetry and enthusiasm...". To prove it, just close your eyes and listen. I often replay my favourite scenes that way. My favourite(s) are the two sunset captures near the end, followed by a tie between the Bull Elk and Mule Deer. As always, thanks for sharing., Cheers from BC

[@MarkSmithphotography]

Thanks so much for the great compliments! The sunsets were incredible as were the elk and mule deer.

[@gordroberts53]

Hi Mark, I wonder how you have faired in the recent storms? All is well with you I pray.

[@bryceacd]

Fun video! You really got a spectacular sunset photo at the lake!!

[@MarkSmithphotography]

Thanks

[@omniconcepts_7275]

The last epic scene of the sunset across the cloudy covered mountain range is my favorite.

[@MarkSmithphotography]

Thanks!

[@donbodat]

[@MarkSmithphotography]

Thanks! My favorite shot was the very 1st one. Something about that gold light coming through the Aspen forest really gets me.

Thanks! All is very good.

[@UncleVinnys]

Wow! I've heard you mention Telluride before but didn't realize how awesome it was. The "icing on the cake" shot (9:00 minute mark) is to die for. I've seen Fall colors on the East coast, but the mountains here add another dimension to the landscape. Again, Beautiful work, Mark. Seeing this is a real blessing. Thanks!

[@MarkSmithphotography]

You are right. The mountains add a whole new layer to fall colors! Thanks so much for watching and for the kind words.

[@melbawells5472]

Awesome work and I love the information you give. The road shot during the first part of video, I thought it was a still. Wonderful.

[@berimux]

As always - great photos, awesome location. Larch forests here in Austria are starting to change colors, too......

[@MarkSmithphotography]

Thanks. I bet the large forests over there look very nice!

[@alistairnitz]

Everyone talks about the beautiful colours of autumn. My response - nothing beats spring - spring blossoms and flowers, days warming up, t-shits and shorts. It is magical in Australia now.

[@MarkSmithphotography]

I too love springa

[@mikeashexperience9602]

Wow! I was just in Colorado in April. The focus was the Crystal Mills. This was not this best time. I hope you do this trip again some I can be part of it. I Love your work.

[@MarkSmithphotography]

Thanks

[@germanshepherdmom5411]

Beautiful! Just got my D850...lots to learn!

[@germanshepherdmom5411]

moo I hear ya. I am experienced with photography, I meant that I have a lot to learn with features such as time lapse and other things I haven’t used with my other bodies. I’m pretty set on my lens collection. I am subscribed to the angry photographer. He does have pretty good knowledge regarding cameras and lenses...I’ve bought lenses on his recommendations and have never been disappointed. He has a strong personality. I don’t judge people because we don’t know what they have been through in their life. I don’t blindly follow anyone.

[@MarkSmithphotography]

Enjoy!

[@MarkSmithphotography]

I have a time lapse tutorial in the works.

[@germanshepherdmom5411]

Mark Smith that’s great! I’ll keep an eye out for it!

[@weast5912]

Bravo sir

[@MarkSmithphotography]

Thanks
