Sunset at Shawme Lake
Sometimes it's good to act upon your own instincts.
Was working in the office this late afternoon and looked out the window to see a beautiful sky starting to come together. Grabbed the Olympus+12-60mmSWD, hopped in the car and drove to Shawme Lake. Wasn't disappointed:

Geez, man.
2, 1 and 3, in that order, or more like 1a, 1b and 1c. All three are spectacular. |

Hi Zig,
What a fantastic set of pictures, I can't decide which one is my favorite. The HDR processing is balanced and very well done. I like the way you framed the 3rd picture with the branches on top of it. Love the colors and composition... thank you for sharing. Marcelo |

Hi Steven, Greg, Marcelo,
Thnx guys. I have a lot of fun using Photomatix to produce HDR images. But You can do quite a lot with just the sliders in Adobe Camera RAW. Here is an example of one:  There are times when I prefer one over the other. But , I do like the results when just running it thru a quick edit in RAW. The problem for me with this image was the blown highlight. Using HDR corrected for that. Zig

The framing, reflections, and random log jutting out make #1 my favorite - great photos!

Thank you all so much for taking the time to comment and provide positive reinforcement. It's very much appreciated.
Glad to see my Olympus E-30 hasn't suddenly self-destructed now that the E-M5 has been released.  Zig
