Mountain Lake

This is a small mountain lake in central Utah. I was privileged to shoot this June with Royce Bair @roycebairphoto and Robert McKendrick @naturalwildimage. About this time the wildfiresmoke was moving into Utah and the area we planned to shoot down in the lowlands was very compromised. We decided to try a high mountain lake in hopes we’d be above the smoke. To our delight the area was clear enough to get some very nice exposures. Thanks to Royce and Robert! 🙏 This is a stacked panorama at 16mm vertically, f/2.8, 30 sec, ISO 12,800. If you want to know why I used ISO 12,800, well I cannot tell you because I don’t know, lol. Mistake actually. When I got home I was surprised at the ISO, 😂. With enough stacked images the noise is not a significant issue though. Have a great weekend!
