Here's a shot I look over Memorial Day weekend while traveling around Crested Butte. I'm not entirely sure exactly where I took the photo. I've been playing around with a new method of Geotagging my photos. I really enjoy being able to look at Google Earth and seeing where I was when I took a shot. Unfortunately, my geotagging system got messed up with this series.
I suspect that, one day, all digital cameras will have an internal GPS to handle geotagging. Just as long as they don't put a cell phone in my camera. I already have a useless camera in my cellphone.
What did ya'll think of the slideshow post (Edit: Fixed link)? I'm trying to decide if I should post more slideshows. Look in my side bar for a poll on this subject.
I'm about to head up to Cripple Creek to play another Texas Hold'em tourney. I'll be taking my camera in case I have time to walk around town. Actually, I'm taking two cameras: My usual Canon 40D and my old Nikon F70 (a film camera). I've filled it with some B&W film and put a 50mm lens on it. That should be an interesting challenge! I'm sure I've forgotten how to use film.
That's today's Scenic Sunday. Take a stroll over to Scenic Sunday's site, and look around!

Superb shot. I'm not into modern technology so you're kind of talking Chinese to me! ;-)
Luckily for me I understand a bit of both technology and Chinese, but I also speak another language: poker. What kind of stakes do you play out there?
I've been eyeing some of the Nikon F-series cameras in case my curiosity in film ever develops to the point of experimentation, so I'll be very interested to see how your photos turn out!
Nice photo's and a nice blog.
Beautiful & scenic
Russ,
Gorgous capture. This is my first visit to your blog and enjoyed it very much. Have a great week. Smiles Barbara
That is awesome photo! Mountains are so majestic and the cloud adds a perfect touch.
What a great photo. Why a my landscape photos not like yours ;-)
I'm also into geotagging for some time now and I use my (i)phone to track my location during my photoshoots and to geotag my photos afterwards.
I agree that phones have lousy cameras, but at least I found an extra purpose for my phone.

Thanks for you kind words everyone.
Bryan - in Colorado the casinos are limited to $5 max bet. However, in July, the limits go up to $100. But, I play tournaments. The one I play is a $55+5 buy-in and seats 66 people max. Sadly I went out early and hung around to watch my buddy play. He was the penultimate bubble boy.
Retraction: My old Nikon is actually an N70 - not an F70. Although they are supposedly identical.
It's descent. It's missing a DOF preview (which is SO helpful), and the ability to do double exposures. And, I now in the habit of looking at the screen after some shots. The N70 seems to be missing that also :)
Love the colors in this capture. I don't know much about Geotagging, gonna go google it and read up!
this is just amazing!
