Yosemite Mirror Lake & Half Dome Reflection B&W

SeaSurfnBird

I shot this a Mirror Lake under Half Dome in Yosemite National Park on June 11th, 2011 at 2:19 P.M. with my Nikon D90 and SIGMA 15mm fisheye lens. The exposure is 0.125 seconds at f/22, 200 ISO. I also held a Hitech 85mm Graduated Neutral Density (ND) 1.2 Resin Filter - Soft Edge in from of the lens to bracket down the sky 3-4 stops. This brought out the subject of the rock island and it's reflection as one of the main eye catchers in the image. I used Lightroom 3 to turn it to black and white and un distort the Fisheye as well as alter the vertical angle of the shot. Please tell me what you think...
Thank you,
Jeff

Yep, I know that rock! I shot this in April, 2010 (Rock and Half Dome in the Morning Light), but I didn't have that much water. I like the conversion. I'm not sure of the placement of the rock though. It's not a deal-breaker, but it's a bit too centered for me. Nice capture though!
