I'm not sure what it is about cypress trees that fascinate me so. Perhaps it is just that I don't see them very often, since there are none around where I live, but seeing them rise up out of the water with their iconic shape always piques my interest. When we go to west Tennessee to see my wife's mother, I always try to get up to Reelfoot Lake and get a shot or two of the cypress there. Reelfoot Lake itself is pretty remarkable. It was formed when earthquakes of 1811 and 1812 on the New Madrid fault caused the area to subside. Eyewitnesses claimed that the Mississippi River flowed backward for 10-24 hours as it filled up. Check it out: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reelfoot_lake
This shot is not HDR. It is a long exposure, 30 seconds, taken in low light at 64 ISO with my new D810. I wanted to see if the claims of low noise were true, and I’m quite impressed. There is very little noise at all, even in low light and a long exposure. I’m looking forward to learning how to get the most from it.
