wow ! what a beautiful shot Jonathan

Thanks Stuart --- I have an incredibly unfair advantage, living out here. The scenery options are absolutely endless.

I agree with the unfair advantage. I'd like to propose that Jonathan be banned from participating in the landscape portion of these contests

Seriously though, absolutely unreal shot. Blows my mind.

....bu...bu...but....then how would we see his photos? Beside, look at it another way....it's not like we should expect to see too many lighthouse photos from Jonathan....

"Bow Lake at Sunset" --- last night, on the Icefields Parkway in Banff

Totally captivating Jonathan, is this only one exposure?

[Jonathan Huyer]

Thanks everyone - I definitely credit all of you for inspiring me with your great photos. I need to work hard to keep up with this group! And yes you're not likely to see a lighthouse photo anytime soon from me.

Steve -Yes this is one exposure. I used a 2-stop soft edge ND grad, and a 5-stop solid ND to give a 60-second exposure. In Lightroom I darkened the sky about another half stop to give it the balance I wanted.

Brilliant work Jonathan. Thank you for sharing.

Taken last night. You can see the sand dunes along Lake Michigan reflecting off Silver Lake.
