Sparks Lake Sunset
During our trip to Sunriver/Bend, my top photography destination was Sparks lake up in the Cascade mountains on Century Drive. I had been here many times as a kid but never for photography and hoped that the elements would line up for a good sunset or sunrise. 2 nights into our trip, I backed out of going because the clouds looked too thick and there was a storm cell on the radar that looked to have a strong probability of blocking the path of the sun. That evening I cried from our house as the afterglow exploded everywhere in vivid bright red.
Fortunately, I had this beautiful night on the lake, with very little wind and some amazing patchy clouds that provided some awesome reflections. I got in the water so I could get close to the lava rock and this little inlet of water for a different comp. Sparks Lake is a truly amazing place with a view of the Sisters mountain range and broken top reflecting in the shallow waters. 5 image blend for focus. Hope you enjoy, let me know what you think!
