Summer Lake, Oregon

Canon 30D, 17-40 f/4L, ISO: 100, aperture: f/11, shutter: 1/13 second, tripod: yes, filter: ciruclar polarizer

I posted a similar photo of Summer Lake back in August.  This area is rich in wildlife and stunning panoramas.  There are many opportunties here for viewing and photographing migratory birds and beautiful landscapes.  Sunset is a nice time to capture colors and patterns in the sky and their reflection in the shallow lake water.  A polarizer filter is essential for images that include water and clouds.  Using a good sturdy tripod will help ensure a tack sharp image, even with slow shutter speeds.
