Today was a cold windy day. We had a storm that had moved in. Al it brought was a few clouds and lots of cold North wind.
I decided to head down to Utah Lake as the sun was setting. I arrived a few minutes before it set and got my gear set up. I only had a few minutes for this shot.

The specs
iso 100
24mm
f/22
.8 second exposure

I like the varied color of the sky.
I like the blurred water.
I like the reflection.
I would like to have more color in the clouds.

For this shot to work I used two split neutral density filters. For the top half of the photo the filters stopped the exposure down to the equivalent 6 stops. The bottom half was exposed properly. In using this technique you don’t have half of the picture blown out or completely black. The low iso and high f/stop allowed for a longer exposure. I didn’t want the exposure to be too long because I wanted the clouds to be in focus. I did want it to be a little slower so that the water was slightly blurred.

Thanks for visiting. If you like what you see share with your friends.
