Dead Calm
The remains of dead trees claimed by Colliford Lake.
These remains were actually fully out of the water when I last photographed them at the end of September this year (previous photo titled "Lost Lagoon"). Our long, dry summer had depleted the water level to reveal them. But now, after the winter rain, the reservoir is starting to recover - and reclaiming these trees once again.
The water was pretty flat in this sheltered area of the lake, and the addition of a 10 stop filter lengthened the exposure to completely flatten the water - giving mirror-like reflections.
