Driftwood

Uploaded: March 23, 2006

Description

Aperture: f22
Shutter: 1.3 sec
Lens: Nikon DX f3.5-4.5
Location: Lake Tahoe, Nevada
I was walking along the rocky beach of Lake Tahoe having noticed these clouds, crossing my fingers the sunset would be good, and I saw these pieces of driftwood. I'd set up my shot, waiting for the sun to set, yet driftwood naturally drifts away and I had to keep resetting in order to stay with them. Finally, the sunset came...

Wow, this is a beautiful shot, I love catches like this because they illustrate to the photographic communtiy that computer enhancment isnt nessecary as long as the photographer has a good eye and the moment is right! AWSOME JOB!!! #413854

I agree with Katie on this one Greg. Creativity through the camera is so much more fun than hunching over a computer! But hey, that's just me! (which is kind of ironic, considering that I work in I.T.).

Great photo and great patience. Nice composition and some wonderful advancing warm colours that draw you into the photo. Oh and you've thrown a silluette in the foreground too. Great!

Good stuff. Well done.

Cheers,
