This shot is of the first sunset we saw at Lake Tahoe. It was a pretty cloudy day until sunset and suddenly it cleared with some great cloud formations with neat pink hues on the clouds. I am not sure where this location is but I am pretty sure its next to a boat ramp. I picked this location due to blossoming flowers which looked much prettier in person.

Thanks for looking, have a nice day..

This was another panorama shot I took while we were at Sand Harbor state park which is on the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe. I didn’t make many plans about what to shoot during this trip so we were very relaxed and spend the whole afternoon relaxing at the beach and I only went crazy when the sunset actually happened.

This particular one was taken after the sun went down, Lake Tahoe due to its alpine location surrounded by mountains enjoys pretty long twilight and is a lot more forgiving to the photographer in composing and getting the shot right. My wife pointed out this location to me cementing her place as my honorary location manager. I like how the lake acts as a giant mirror and changed color from dark grey to amazing greens and blues once the sky cleared up during sunset.

The first day sunset from our trip to Lake Tahoe, this shot was taken on the Nevada side near the sand harbor beach. This one was quite difficult to make as the light was changing quite fast and I was using three filters in front of my lens including a polarizing filter, an nd grad and the lee big stopper. Since I was using the big stopper creating a panorama the traditional way by looking through the view finder was not an option. So I had to focus and meter manually, meter and remember to close the viewfinder. Usually when I had to check so many things my ADHD kicks in and I forget or eff up something.

So when I got hope and finally edited the images I was so happy this one came out good. Thanks for visiting enjoy!!
