3,244 MEGAPIXEL VAST PHOTO
Maroon Lake, Aspen, Colorado
While the Maroon Bells are touted as the most photographed place in Colorado, pictures simply don’t do the peaks justice. Having lived in Colorado since 1980, I had never been to this location. Because it is so often photographed, I had never had much interest in doing another "me too" photograph of this popular location. My wife had seen photos of the Bells online and kept encouraging me to shoot one of my wall mural photos here. After some research I found that nobody had ever shot a gigapixel image of the Bells. So because of it's close proximity to Hanging Lake I booked an RV park near both locations for our fall 2023 photo tour. For this image I waited until later in the morning when the light was nearly filling the valley to better capture the fall colors which were nearly at the peak for the season.
This is an focus stacked image and is made up of 1603 images with the majority of the the images being Focus Bracketed images processed to yield 180 individual Focus Stacked images, 6 rows x 30 columns

Our ready-to-hang canvas prints are created using a specialty printer that carefully lays pigment inks down onto archival-quality fine art canvas material. The canvas is then stretched around a 1.5-inch-deep wood support structure to provide depth and elegance. Our canvas material has a delightfully matte finish that looks spectacular in any lighting conditions while retaining maximum vibrancy and contrast. Click here to learn more.
