It was another day in paradise today. I spent a few hours on the shore of Donner Lake mid-day, hanging out with some friends. Fun times. Went home and watched a movie. Looked out the window when the movie was done. Realized I had about 10 minutes to grab the camera and run across the street for what looked like a possible great sunset show. And it was! Donner Lake fired off with color and I had set up my gear right as it was getting good.
This is a view looking to the east. It was a nice sunset looking to the west as well, but the east definitely was better tonight.
Shot with the Canon R5 MarkII and a 25-105mm lens, set at 24mm. The ISO was 100, the lens aperture was f/22, and it was a 3.2 second long exposure. I wanted a longer exposure in order to smooth out the wind whipped water. I also had a graduated neutral density filter on the lens to balance out the sky exposure with the water reflection exposure. Pretty happy with this one!
Thank you for looking, and I hope you had a great weekend.
