Lundy Lake at Sunset

Hikin' Mike

I was waiting for sunset at Lundy Lake last Saturday and took this right after the sun went behind the mountain. I was "shooting" some deer and forgot to reset my ISO on the first one. :huh


5D, 17-40, ISO 400, f/11, 3 exposures (1/80, 1/200, 1/400) blended in CS2

After sunset...

5D, 17-40, ISO 100, f/11, 2 exposures (.5 & 1/13sec) blended in CS2

Hi Mike,

Nice shots. I much prefer the first as its easier to look at, meaning; the first shot has the light on the mountains and this is initially where your eye goes. The second image, the bright water is where your eye goes, then to the next bright sky, and lastly, due to the mountains being very low contrast and way behind in brightness, I have to force my eye to them.

I hope that wasn't more input than what you were after, if any input at all.

Thanks for sharing!
