35% Off (was $19.95) Colorado is well known for its national parks and iconic locations, such as the Great Sand Dunes, Maroon Bells, and Rocky Mountain National Park. However, it also harbors many scenic wonders that are little known and seldom visited. There are colorful, mushroomed-shaped rocks on the eastern plains, white, serrated volcanic rocks in the southern mountains, and a large number of natural arches along the Western Slope. In Colorado’s Hidden Wonders, renowned nature photographer Grant Collier transports you to these remote regions by way of 95 breathtaking photographs. Collier has spent several years hiking along strenuous trails and driving over difficult jeep roads in search of these landscapes that time forgot. The images he captured during these excursions have produced a portrait of Colorado that few knew existed and even fewer have experienced.

When Joseph Collier left Scotland bound for Central City, Colorado in 1871, it was unclear whether the young immigrant would make much of a name for himself. However, through hard work and perseverance, Collier developed a reputation as one of the state's preeminent pioneer photographers. Now, over a century later, Grant Collier has literally followed in the footsteps of his great-great-grandfather. Grant has traveled across Colorado taking photographs from precisely the same spots where Joseph Collier captured his images. These photographs are presented in the often-imitated but never duplicated "Colorado: Yesterday &amp; Today."

The night sky may be the most awe-inspiring spectacle that any of us will ever see. It can, however, be difficult to capture in a photograph, as it requires specialized techniques that are rarely used when shooting images during the day. Renowned photographer Grant Collier sheds light on how to capture these otherworldly images by sharing secrets he has learned over the past 14 years. He explains how to take photos of the Milky Way, northern lights, meteors, eclipses, lightning, and much more. Grant begins by reviewing equipment and supplies that are helpful when photographing at night. He then discusses many software programs, web sites, and mobile apps that will help you plan your shots. Finally, he offers extensive advice on how to capture and process images at night. He goes beyond the basics and teaches how to blend multiple exposures and create huge stitched images to capture incredibly detailed photos that you never before thought possible! Some of the topics covered include: - How to photograph the Milky Way, northern lights, eclipses, meteors, lightning, air glow, lava, and more! - What moon phases to shoot under. - Light painting the foreground and recommended flashlights. - Capturing star trails with both film and digital cameras. - Creating comet-like star trails. - Stitching huge images that can be printed very large. - Stacking images and blending multiple exposures to increase detail. - Focus stacking to increase depth of field. - Using an equatorial mount (or star tracker). - Enlarging star size to bring out constellations. - Minimizing noise, light pollution, and elongated stars in post-processing. Many of these techniques can not be found in other night photography books, which tend to focus mainly on the basics.

Two decades ago, Grant Collier embarked on a project that had him following, quite literally, in the footsteps of his great-great-grandfather, the pioneer photographer Joseph Collier. He traveled throughout Colorado taking photographs from the exact same spots where Joseph captured his images over a century before. In 2001, Grant released a book of these photographs entitled "Colorado Yesterday &amp; Today." "Colorado Then &amp; Now" is the sequel to this book, and it contains 200 new photographs. These images capture, in stunning detail, the changes that have occurred in Colorado over the past 145 years.

Accompanying these images are essays on six regions of Colorado, along with a biography on Joseph Collier. No expense was spared on the elegant cover, which measures 12.1" x 13.3".
