House on Big Bear Lake

Uploaded: September 16, 2013 21:57:21

Description

This was taken in late afternoon with a hazy, flat sky, but the light was behind the house. I found a replacement sky with strong light where needed and replaced the sky in this for more color and drama. I made a few color adjustments in the water to make the reflections better fit the sky color. Bear Lake is a popular escape for Los Angeles, California, residents. If traffic is light, and it usually isn't, this lake is about a two hour drive from the city.

Exif: F Number: 10, ExposureTime: 100/7999 seconds, ISO: 100, FocalLength: 14.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 40D
