Sunday was a great day! Not only was the day gorgeous with warm temperatures and sunshine I was able to bookend the day with photography. Due in part to daylight savings time occurring Sunday morning I had plenty of time for a walk with the camera before anyone else in the house woke up. There were a few clouds in the sky willing to highlight the sunrise and a long absence from the field across the road combined for some great early morning captures.
After a busy day filled with grocery shopping and a trip to the movies with my daughter I ended the day at Delta Lake state park for some sunset delight. Once again there were cooperating clouds, no wind and practically no people. The ice on the lake has started to melt and the water pools added to any composition I wanted to create. You might be flooded with pictures from the fun last night. I’ll apologize ahead of time! 🙂

Wow ! These are wonderful photos Mike ! The reflection of the sun on the lake is amazing. Did you use filters for these photos ? I’m thinking of buying a gold and blue filter and also a warming polarizer filter. I’ve seen photos with the gold and blue filter and it enhances the blues and yellows, it’s really beautiful. Have a nice week-end !
Thank you Jocelyne! The top photo was captured without any filter. My only ‘enhancement’ was to push the white balance a little cooler. For the second image I used a circular polarizer to help reduce the glare, although looking straight into the sun doesn’t help. I’ve played with blue/gold enhancements in Photoshop and would love to see some images with a filter. You have an enjoyable weekend too!
