Turtle Lake Sunset

For those photographers who are interested in selling stock photography work, the last thing stock agencies need is more sunset images.  Regardless of this most avid shutter bugs have their interpretation of the most perfect sunset.  This happens to be one of mine.  Shot early evening several years ago while on a cottage vacation, this picture was recorded as a large file fine jpeg image.  I might add that I took this image in a period of time before I fully understood the advantages of shooting in camera RAW.  Taken with my original Nikon D70s, this image was shot at 1/20 sec, f3.5, ISO 400 with a focal length of 18mm.  The camera was mounted on a tripod for stability.  What makes this image one of my favourites is burning sunset glow combined with the reflection on the glassy surface of the lake.  The placement of the canoe in the foreground also adds interest to the image. To me this shot is a reminder of a great summer day coming to an end in a spectacular fashon.
