The Dawn of Paradise
Shot at Lake Estes in Estes Park, Colorado….this was just quite a scene to behold! Sure, I froze my hands off (steel tripods aren’t know to conduct heat real well lol ) and had to keep running back to the car to thaw out my fingers. But what a time! It has been awhile since I have done any real long exposure work, and I have been meaning to get back at it…on this I used an ND4 and my CPL, taken on my Minolta 18-70 DT lens. The light and color was changing ever so fast, it seemed like every passing second it was different…and this was the first shot out of about 75 I took, later the sky would turn totally orange along with the water,....those are yet to come. It was sheer serenity I tell ya!
Let me know what ya think!
