Tonight the clouds and the setting sun were working together to set up for a spectacular display of color. This didn’t quite happen. Right where the sun set there was a thick layer of clouds. However, with the use of HDR I was able to pull the colors out of the sky and this is the result. The “snow” in the bottom left of the photo is the remnants of the ice sheet that had covered Utah Lake for several months. During a recent storm the ice was blown into small ice mountains. This is what is left after a recent warm up.



You may remember this photo from December. This photo was taken from the same spot as the one above.
For the photo above I can’t remember a time where this large body of water was as calm and smooth as it was tonight. The only movement on the water was from my kids throwing rocks into the water. The above photo is a five exposure HDR shot at 24 mm and 200 iso.

Thank you for visiting my site today.
