Description Title says it all. People were fishing, eating, talking, and watching the sun set behind the lake.





Shot Details
Location: Lake Tahoe, CA.
Filters: ND grad, ND 8.
Spot metering at the sky right above the people.

As to the picture, I heavily cropped it (about a quarter of its original size) because I didn't like how the surroundings turned out. But I guess that was a good thing because using the wide angle reduced the blurriness of the silhouette movements. Whatever was left, I stamped it out.

Whoa... So many contrasts in this thoroughly uncluttered composition: cold/warm, sharp/fuzzy, empty/full... Simply beautiful!

I don't know, I like the other one more (even though this one looks better I guess)

Great long exposure.
Love the movement in the
boats, and the way you have
managed to keep the foreground lit.
Nice Work.

Thank you! It's funny that you mention the foreground. It was so lit by the sun that, at one point, I tried a shot with the ND grad filter in reverse (to dim to foregroud).
