Sunset Reflections (bw0807-01-024tms)

Polly Lake (Boundary Waters), July 15, 2008. A severe thunder and hail storm had rolled through about supper time. As the clouds disappeared eastward, the lake calmed. The setting sun lit the retreating clouds which were perfectly reflected in the mirror surface of the lake.

 

I used HDR with tone mapping and extra sharpening on this image. The HDR was generated from a single image, double processed -- using the original exposure and a two stop over exposure to bring out the detail in the shadows.

 

Nikon D200, Nikkor 18-70mm.

 

As usual, best when Viewed On Black
