Scoping it Out
The other day, my boss was looking at my photography and mentioned that my photo "Reaching for the Water" reminded him of one of his favorite places in our general area. He claimed that it was as gorgeous as Rocky Mountain National Park, but with almost no people. When I got home, I did a lot of searching to find photos of the area, but all of them seemed to be shot with 7 year old point and shoots at midday. Determined to be one of the first with good quality photos, I decided to check it out today and plan for a future sunrise/sunset trip. After scoping it out, I can absolutely back up his claims...
Of the probably 100+ lakes in the area, this was amazingly one of the least interesting I came across. I typically wouldn't post a shot from one of my scoping trips (in fact, I usually don't even take any pictures on them), but I am just so psyched to go there again that I will anyway.
Weather permitting, I will be heading up very, very early on Monday to shoot the sunrise at the most mindblowing of the locations I visited today. Stay tuned! UPDATE: Weather permitting failed as there isn't supposed to be a cloud in the sky all day. Wednesday it is.
Shot with my Sigma 10-20mm @ around 11mm and new B+W ND110 to try to compensate for the boring, nearly midday sky.
