Rowdy Lake

Rowdy Lake Sunday at high noon.

I love the reflection - it almost carries more color than the trees above but the combination in this scene works great. Sounds like you had a productive shoot.

Gorgeous colors and reflections, and blue and gold are a great combo.

Hey Amy, this is really cool looking! I have been over to Silver Jack, but I just don’t recall Rowdy Lake. I need to check that lake out.

It's about a mile off the beaten path on a 4 wheel drive road, and there's another lake past that call Crystal Lake (which is bigger than Rowdy), it another mile hick from Rowdy.

Thanks Alan! Your right I haven't even scratched the surface. I'm headed back out tomorrow to see if I can capture some low hanging clouds around the pinnacles in the area, maybe even a little snow....I hope!

Thanks Ben, I agree!

Okay now you taking this picture is beautiful.....if I took it I would be down on myself for the too blue sky. Maybe I need to get over the too blue sky when I use the polarizer.....but when I look at mine like this I second guess it.

Nice one Amy - love the colors esp. the reflected ones.

Darcy one way to deal with this is to take a shot w/o polarizer for the sky and with for the colors and blend. It should be a fairly straightforward blend as well.

I'm not usually a fan of mid-day shots but this one works.

I'm not either, but Fall is such a short season I'll take what I can get. Thanks Douglas!

Darcy, I'm the same way....especially when there are no clouds. I would of given anything to be out shooting yesterday when the weather rolled in, but sometimes work gets in the way. And I have to make an exception for Fall considering it only last two to three weeks...darn it anyways.

Darcy, also remember with Fall Colors the Blue and Gold are complimentary colors that play off each other well. Fall is the one time where blue skies are often to your advantage.
