Lake Huron Cloudy Reflection

6 years 1 month ago - 6 years 1 month ago #568531 by Paul-Rossi
My wife and I always walk our peninsula during this time of year to see what Lake Huron will look like.  It changes daily. It was calm this morning and less than 3 hours ago we found this. I stood on the built-up mounds of frozen ice at the shoreline - about 8 feet tall, so I could gain perspective and be able to capture the reflection of clouds as well as the rocks underwater in the foreground. There is a little bit of a ripple to the water in some stops, but it mostly is calm.  And there is a thin layer of ice on the water in some spots.  Way off in the distance near the horizon to the right are some ice chunks.  They were pushed away from the shoreline by slight north winds last night. I personally like a complicated scene with many compositional elements.  Without mountains that is hard to find around here.  I processed this with the scene fresh in my memory, and attempted to duplicate what I saw, nothing else.

The horizon is just good to look at. The reflections is very nice as well.

This borders as fine art for me.  I like it.  What would have pushed this over the top (in good way) is the use of a polarized filter to allow more of the shallow lake bottom shown in the foreground.  

Either way,  bravo!
