Desolate Fire

Desolate Fire



Desolation Wilderness, Ca.

Ok maybe I'm getting carried away with "Desolate" in my titles...but it sounds so cool haha!  This is yet another sunset shot from the unnamed lake we camped near in Desolation Valley in July.  I wanted to do a fairly tight composition to focus on the "fire like" appearance of the scene - in the sky as well as the reflection.  Make sure to view large on black - the cloud swirls along the horizon were really something else.

Details:
Canon 5D Mark II
16-35L 2.8
tri pod
F18
ISO 100

4 second exposure on foreground
2 exposure manual blend in CS4
