Reflection Lake by Moonlight

Hope everyone is enjoying their Summer. It has finally arrived here in the Pacific Northwest. So I had a "Wild Hair" yesterday and was going to try and race to the Sunrise area on Mt Rainier for sunset. Well that did not happen, although the sunset was quite spectacular without my participation! So with sunset a bust and not wanting to drive back home (essentially a two hour drive one way). What is an unlucky photographer to do?
After not much discussion in my head, I decided to "Car Camp" at Reflection Lakes and shoot the mountain in the waning moon light. So I tried all sorts of exposures, apertures and combination of illuminating the wild flowers with my headlamp. So the final result is above.
This is one RAW image processed in Lightroom. I shot with my aperture set at f/3.5 for 30 seconds. I set my White Balance to the florescent setting which cools the image down. I adjusted the clarity, sharpening and vibrance in Lightroom.
So yes, I have been extremely busy working and getting images ready for the Snoqualmie Railroad Days August 17-19th. I will now also have some of my work displayed this weekend for the Mt Si Festival, which is celebrated by both towns of North Bend and Snoqualmie. I also inquired into having some of my work featured in rotating exhibits at the Snoqualmie Visitor's Center and the City Hall. Working on getting some of my pictures of the Snoqualmie Falls and the local train depots printed. Should have those prints up after Snoqualmie Railroad Days.
Thank you so much for your support, views, comments and faves. I truly am trying to get around to your inspiring photostreams.
