Sweet shot Zeph - I like both the crystal clear reflections as well as the clarity of the water. The colored rocks in the foreground and on the lake bottom add a nice element to the scene.

Sweet. Don't think I've ever captured that effect.

Nice image, Zeph. I am still trying to figure out how the second starburst is made. Do you have any insights?

Hey Doug, glad you like this. All I can figure is being at the right place, at the right time

The thing that is interesting to me is that it is not a reflection. The starburst occurs over a rock in the water and the longest rays extend over other rocks. I am thinking that there is an atmospheric effect going on with cooler air at the surface and warmer air above. I am pretty sure about the colder air near the surface because of the steam coming off of the water. Did you see the second starburst in your viewfinder?Hey Doug, glad you like this. All I can figure is being at the right place, at the right time

I didn’t see the second starburst at the time. The exposure was 0.5s at f/14 using the Canon 16-35, which is known for its ability to capture starbursts with its 9 blade aperture....
