Description Winter - in the eleventh month
Snow falls thick and fast.
A thousand mountains, one color.
Men of this world passing this way are few.
Dense grass conceals the door.
All night in silence, a few woodchips burn slowly
As I read the poems of the ancients.
-- Ryokan, 18th Century, C.E.

A warm sunset at a smelly pond.
Cleaned it up a little, not the pond, only the photo.

Nikon D200
Sigma 10-20mm EX HSM lens
Hitech Grad ND filter
5 exposures

This is beautiful. I am such a sucker for reflection photos.
What do you mean 5 exposures?

Wow. I love that you can't even see the areas that were blended...
Great job!

MaciejKarcz In reply to Anonymonkey [2009-02-21 01:14:44 +0000 UTC]

You might be thinking of a panorama, the exposures here were overlayed and blended. For example, take 3 photos at 1/100 sec, 1/50 sec, 1/200 sec and then combine them to increase the amount of details in shadows and highlights

Anonymonkey In reply to MaciejKarcz [2009-02-21 10:45:47 +0000 UTC]

I've never tried that, haha...
I don't think I could do it as well...
