Lake Powell

By Jason Hines | Published June 21, 2011

This is another shot I took at Lake Powell. We got to the lake a couple hours before sunset and explored the area looking for the best vantage point for sunset. 30 minutes after I took this shot however it another storm front moved in and obscured the sky completely. It was plain that the sunset was going to be a bust so we decided to pack it in. I got a few shots before we took off however and this is one of them. Enjoy!

Camera: Nikon D90
Lens: Tokina 11-16mm

Great shot Jason!! The glassy water looks fantastic. I like the details and colors in the pebbles and rocks on the lower right hand side. Good work my friend!

Sweet! Love the small waves in the water and how it caught the colors of the sky.

Very nice shot Jason. Great details on the lake and shore. I’ve never been to Lake Powell but it is on my short list for a possible trip in May.

Very peaceful shot, Jason.
Your processing brought out the details really nicely. The water picks up dome sky color and makes this shot really cool to look at.

Digging the warm/cool tones in this shot, and the low vantage point is perfect!

Love how the foreground just runs to the back of the image. And that sky is just awesome.

Lovely colors in the sky, and they reflect so nicely in the water.
