Last Friday I finally had some spare time to spend a day out photographing the winter landscape. My first stop was a location near Gravenhurst, Ontario known as the Torrance Barrens / Dark Sky Reserve, which is one of the best places for viewing the night sky in Ontario. The morning was a balmy -15 degrees Celsius with a light wind blowing and there was not a cloud in sight. Due to the lack of clouds I framed these straggly spruce trees against the western sky and waited for the rising sun to cast the pinkish glow in the west.
Having forgot my cable release at home, I framed the scene and then selected the Live View feature (as this will lock the mirror up) and then activated the 2 second timer.
Nikon D800
Nikon 18-35mm lens @ 22mm
ISO 100
f16 @ 1.6 seconds
Look forward to comments.
