The Gray and the Gold

This is just lovely tone in this nice, smooth pond surface as the sun sets through the clouds and the remnants of reeds and bare trees. This is not edited; it’s what the camera gave me. I was discovering that the macro lens, designed for closeups on bright days, could really handle a lot of different subjects.

November 18, 2012. Nikon D90 (DX sensor), 105mm Nikon macro lens (35mm equivalent: 155mm), f/16, 1/1,500, ISO 500.
