Autumn at Trout Lake
Autumn is in the air, in the trees, and on my mind. And like others, in their cameras by now. Trout Lake is only about 20 minutes away and unveils itself in different ways depending on the season. With the sun now lower in the sky, and winds barely present, the mirror-like surface can provide terrific reflections.
Fall colors also present themselves for view, while Lillie Pads suddenly appear. The shadow that split the scene nicely framed the two distinctly different elements. This too created depth and a polarizing filter both removed glare, and released those vivid colors.
In order to get this shot, it was necessary to prop up against a Birch tree that was leaning about 45 degrees toward the lake. There was nowhere to place my tripod and achieve the same shot, short of submersing it and settling for something different. For me, that is just not an option; be nice to your equipment.
