Before I show my fall images here is one from August this year.This is a small lake located between Bern and Thun in switzerland. I haven't been there before.......and I didn't know this place before. When I got there it was eary morning, still dark, no idea of this place and I anted to take a sunrise shot. So I went scouting the area before sunrise in the dark, which of course is not a good idea and hard to come up with a decent composition. But I was lucky this morning. After some time of scouting I found the perfect place, unfortuantely just about sunrise clouds covered the rising sun and the light was rather boring so I waited and hoped the light would change and after about 90 minutes my patience paid off.


Techs:Nikon D700, 16-35mm lens (@26mm), ISO 200, three exposures for dynamic range(1/13, 1/6 & 1/3 sec) at f16 (manually blended in photoshop),ND 0.6 soft Grad

Thanks for any comments and thoughts.

Great job in hanging in there until the light was just right. Here's to patience... :toast:

Wonderful light and color range. I especially like the gentle glow of the sun on the lilypads in the lower right corner.

Bill, I really like the wonderful presentation of this serene atmosphere. Fine natural colors and excellent processing in my opinion.
