Molten Lava Morning

Bob Shetler Recreation Area, Saylorville Lake, Johnston, Iowa

This morning was a bit of a surprise. There were some nice clouds that could have made for a nice sunrise. But, by the time I got to this photospot, the clouds were at the horizon threatening to dull the sunrise. Still, I waited, and voila. You know you need to find a new photo spot when it ends up being yourself, two other photographers, a fisherman, and an outdoor enthusiast all standing around watching the sunrise at 6:30 a.m. Kind of like a photographer's convention.

Nikon D70
Nikkor 28-105 mm zoom, 2 sec. @ f20, ND 2GHS full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto
