Tide

Lake McDonald from the East shore. During the winter and early spring the lake levels are very low in Glacier(until the snow melts off the mountains). This makes for great shot opportunities along the extended shores. I took this shot using Canon 50D with Sigma 10-20mm wide angle lens. With the sun nearly directly behind me the water appears to be lit up almost by flash(unexpected surprise). Kneeling at the water edge a feeling of being in the lake is created and the submerged rocks add a splash of color in the foreground. f/20, 1/80 sec exposure, ISO-100 at 10mm focal length from Slik Lighty Pod III monopod.
