Nature: Whitney Reservoir

October Challenge: Nature

Peaceful nature scene of water, trees, lily pads, and a swan.

One would think after all these years with digital cameras I'd finally
remember to check the exposure when photographing swans! When I get home
they are always solid white. This time I put the cartridge back in the camera
to view the photo and sure enough, the swan was blinking due to overexposure.

Pentax K100D
1/180s f/6.7 at 24.0mm iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

I agree with Cindi, the distance helps. The scene is wonderful, I love the light on the water!

Lovely scene and the swan adds a nice touch.

It still looks a lovely peaceful scene to me.

This would make a great painting. Because the swan is not really close, the white of it isn't a problem. It is a wonderful scene and I love it!

It's hard to get the balance right sometimes...together though it looks like a peaceful scene.
