Man, thought the lake name sounded familiar, I’m pretty sure I’ve been there camping with my family in the '60s. Although, we may have been camping at Cotile, and drove over to go fishing…

Nice sequence! I can’t nap, so I’d be paying for that excursion for a week.

Congratulations for these awesome shots ! the second one is my favourite as well !
For the first one, I get the feeling that it would be better cropped at a square ratio just to show the right part of the image. Although the gradient of the light reflection in the background is pleasing, it would make much more sense to me to have a tight framing around the sun/foreground trees.
Thanks. That’s the setting moon actually, not the sun.
Beautiful pictures! well worth the drive.
It was kind of pleasant, standing there in the (almost) dark, listening to the crows arguing overhead… about 35F so it was a tad cool, but not frigid.
Thanks!

I am tired of my camera, an old Nikon D3300. I’m going to try to get my son to loan me his D750.

Oh, such a dangerous thing to do… If your son is at all concerned about your financial well-being, he’ll not agree to such…

Seen better days, wouldn’t you say? The defiant remains of a tree on Lake B at the Beauregard WMA near Pineville, Louisiana.
This is what happens when the urge to shoot overrides the “rules” of good light and subject matter…! It’s also a vivid reminder of why (if you don’t have really good glass) you rarely shoot wide-open, whatever “wide-open” may be. I was trying to get every possible bit of separation between the tree and background, but at that distance aperture made little difference. I would’ve been better served to shoot it tighter and get better results on the subject, since I had to make the separation in post, anyway. Oh well, live and learn…

This caught my eye this cold and early Wednesday morning on my way back from Delft. Shot at first light and I really like how the blue-hour, which lasts only +/-15 minutes or so atm, painted this scene.
The building and the frozen grass grabbed my attention first, had to find a spot that made this worth shooting and the path/grass/treeline seemed to be a nice leading line.
Z6ii, 35mm, handheld @ 1/40s f/4.8 ISO 1800. Hardly any editing needed using RawTherapee.
EDIT: fixed a typo and added a word.

I bet that would make a cool time-lapse from darkness through dawn to daylight (might be cool, er…, COLD to take as well!). Nice shot.
