"Since the site allows for 10mb uploads, this should not be a problem." LOL. Had to downsize all of these. Three were taken with a 24MP DSLR, and not even in RAW format. The other two are native iPhone 6s. Need to increase that upload limit to at least 20MB :) Reduction factor of 25% had to be used to meet the limit.

Taken at the top of and on the way down from Pikes Peak, CO. Top was 14,115' (included photo of the sign). The rest were around the 14,000' mark.

A 10-20mm lens on a DSLR lets you get some nice shots. You should see the ones that don't have a car in them. But they're all over 16MB in size since I took them at full res. I do have some from further down Pikes Peak Highway, but they're not as good as when you're above 14,000'. What puts things into perspective, is in Colorado alone there are 58 peaks over 14,000', and Pikes Peak is only at #37 on that list.

If you go east from the peak to Manitou there is a stair climb. It goes up 2000' over the course of a mile and it is rated as "extreme". Once you get to the top you could keep going and after a two day hike it'll take you to the top of Pikes Peak. The trail comes out on the east side right where the cog railway ends.

I got to the top of the stairs then took the 2-3 mile path back down, lol.

First time posting a ROTM since joining. Didn't see the rule about a single photo, I have remedied that, just used the first photo even though it is further away than I would have like for detail.


December Theme: Choose your favorite pic you took in 2019 (of your ride).

The Rules:

  • ALL submissions must be in landscape, not in portrait. If you don't understand what that means, click here.
  • ALL submissions must be good quality. No grainy, out of focus shot of the car sitting in a dark parking lot. No pictures of your ride half in frame with 1/4 of the car missing. Take pride in what you're submitting. I will delete any entries I deem unfit (with a reason why).
  • ALL submissions must be uploaded in full resolution so that I'm able to crop or resize if needed (more on that later). Since the site allows for 10mb uploads, this should not be a problem.
  • The submission MUST be of your current car/ride.
