Bands of colour

Lake District, UK

A famous spot for UK photographers, no doubt, but conditions such as this at dawn are fairly rare (well in my experience, anyway). A 0.45 Grad ND was used to balance the exposure, with the tripod firmly tucked into the gravel of the beach. As the clouds slowly passed over head, the warm sun provided bands of colour on the far shore mountains, and a 2 second exposure created enough reflection to not look un-natural.

Canon EOS 5D ,Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L USM
ISO 50, 2 Seconds, F22, 0.45 Grad ND, lucky conditions! full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Beautiful shot. The light is perfect and the clouds reflected on the water add drama to this shot.

That'a a gorgeous pic, it may be a much-photographed view but it is so for a reason, and the light is never the same twice.
