"Smoking"

"Smoking" I am back in the Edmonds Gallery after a couple of weeks out in the field to teach my Bryce Canyon Escalante Class in the beautiful Desert Southwest. I took a three day layover at Mt Hood on my way to grab a new gallery shot. I am not sure which of the shots I captured that I will select for my galleries, but this one is certainly a contender. I love reflections, and this lake was big enough, and conditions were breezy enough, that they were hard to come by, but two of the mornings gave me calm conditions. On this morning, the mountain was making some clouds that continued to stream off of it like there was a fire in the mountain and it was smoking out of its chimney. So much fun to watch and shoot! As an All-In-Camera shooter, the use of graduated split neutral density filters is a necessity, and on this image I used a 2 stop hard on top to the horizon line, and a 1 stop hard pushed down to the rocks in the foreground to balance light. I am very proud to be an ambassador for Singh-Ray Filters, as I believe they are the best, and all I use and recommend.
