Landscape Portfolio | Evening on the Lake What a beautiful end to a nice day on the lake! Just enough light remained to cast both color and shadows on the lake.
The Back Story The air was calm but small waves persisted on the lake. A long exposure would hopefully smooth the water. From the dock, I experimented with different exposures while waiting for the best shadow and color. With everything dialed into the camera, the calm wait for the best composition was quite pleasant.
