Michigan: Part 4

OK, one more picture of Michigan. I hadn't really noticed this one until I was showing some pictures to Brad Spence, and he liked this one. It's pretty simple, and I guess it never really stood out against the other 400 or so pictures I took that week, but the more I look at it the more I like it. It's a 10 second exposure (with a tripod of course) taken after the sun had been down for a while, so it looked a lot darker to the naked eye than it looks here. The water was pretty calm anyway, but the long exposure makes it look even smoother.

Afterglow sunset picture in Wilderness Bay, Marquette Island, Les Chenaux Islands, Hessel, MI.
ISO: 200
Exposure: 10.0 sec
Aperture: f/14.0
Focal Length: 18mm (35mm equivalent = 27mm)

Thanks Kris! The D40 makes it a lot easier to take good pictures, and having a beautiful place to take them doesn't hurt either. Also, I love being able to shoot 500 pictures and only show the really good ones!
