We met well before sunset &#8212; but there was no sunset &#8212; it was overcast. This month there was a large crowd of photographers at the shoot. We met in the amphitheater where we did a group shot. Check the meetup site.<\/p>\n<p>Red Rocks is pretty big so we soon spread out. Working my way around the amphitheater, I eventually ended up on the stage where I made this HDR image. Several areas of the amphitheater were roped off for repairs with marker flags. The red marker flags were flapping in the wind.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3428\" style=\"width: 409px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/matchgrun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/1233-0114-Red-Rocks-Amphitheater-After-Dark.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3428\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3428\" alt=\"1233-0114-Red-Rocks-Amphitheater-After-Dark\" src=\"https:\/\/matchgrun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/1233-0114-Red-Rocks-Amphitheater-After-Dark.jpg\" width=\"399\" height=\"600\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3428\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Red Rocks Amphitheater After Dark<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Spotlights at the theater light up the rock walls on either side of the amphitheater.
