THE CHALLENGE.
I have lived in Evergreen for 25 years and the lake has been photographed many times. So each time I go, I try to capture something new.
THE SOLUTION.
To do this, I went five times, mornings and evenings only. Each visit, I walked around the lake, in search for that one image. I used a number of lenses to change things up a bit. On one of my morning shoots, there was no wind and clouds were in the sky. I immediately though, reflection in the lake, and soon came across this situation. The reflection of the sky covered the whole lake, right to the opposite shore. To make it work I needed a high shooting location, which is easy at this lake. F/stop 22 was used to get everything in focus, with a wide angle lens. So the solution here was being able to go many times and at different times of the day.
