Solitude

The early morning started with drizzling raining in the dark and then all of sudden the sunlight broke. The flying clouds started to part when they hit the peaks around glacier. As the morning was still young and the wind is very calm, the mountains and sky left a perfect reflections in the emerald colored lake. I knew this is one of those magic but rare moment that do not come often for photographer. Then, I noticed a red canoe cut across the lake slowly. I quickly checked my camera's ISO and aperture to make sure the shutter speed is high enough to capture the canoe without a blur. Running around the shore to a good spot for the best reflection and waited for the canoe to hit the right spot. Hand held without a tripod, I let the camera took a burst shots of all possible combination of exposures so I would not miss it. Right there, I felt so good that I could just stop the trip and go home without any regret :)
