4:20 PM

4:19 PM. This was actually a very difficult shot to compose and create. Just getting to this particular involved some wading into the ice cold water, and there was no good spot to easily set the tripod. I was also shooting almost directly into the sun, which meant extra care had to be taken to manually block the sun to avoid flare. I took several photos here, and rotated the polarizer 90 degrees to darken the water in a couple images. However, this just made the water look green, and created a much less attractive image although the foreground bushes did stand out more against the darker water. 1/90 sec, f/13.
