01/01/2012 - Colliers Mills Success Lake Sunset


Well, it was a busy day of hiking, pulling cams, and pulling stands...but I timed it just about right to hit Success Lake in Colliers Mills for the last hour of light.
The day was perfect, blue skies...just a few clouds...should be perfect for a sunset shoot...anticipating getting some nice colors reflecting off the clouds at last light.
That was the plan, but mother nature decided otherwise as a steep wall of gray cloud cover rolled in right as the sun started dipping down!
Oh well, it was good practice and I got a few nice ones...nice evening out there!

Here's a few from tonight...bear with the repetition...trying different focal lengths and switched from a circular polarizer filter to a UV clear filter.

24mm f/16 with the circular polarizer filter



Didn't want to shoot on the extreme end of the lens' range, so I bumped to 26mm and shot at f/16.



With the UV clear filter instead of the circular polarized at 26mm f/16



As the clouds encroach more...26mm f/16



A little shift in composition as the clouds pretty much consumed the sky to the right...24mm f/16



Another little shift...24mm f/16



And one that was shot earlier but was underexposed...like how it came out at 26mm f/16
