More New Donner Lake Sunrise Photos
Yesterday's sunrise shoot ended up being a productive one, I now have 5 new image added to my website's "Recent Work Gallery" My favorite was shared yesterday, but I am very happy with these 4 as well.
The wide angle lens photos were great, but the color in the sky wasn't quite as explosive as I had hoped for, it mostly stayed down low closer to the horizon. So I took some shots with my longer lenses that showed a much better view of the clouds that were kept down low due to the temperature inversion. Inversions aren't rare this time of year, however they usually cover Donner Lake completely. I like how a bit of the lake is showing in this first shot below.
These were all taken with the Canon 5DS R. I used a 24-105mm lens set at 95mm for the photo above. ISO 50, an aperture of f/18, and the shutter speed was 1.6 seconds long. A graduated neutral density filter was used on the front of the lens.
These two photos above and below were both shot using a 100-400mm lens, set at 278mm for both. ISO 50, f/22, and .8 second exposures. No lens filters were used for these. I like how the low clouds picked up a bit of that sunrise color on top of them.
And yes, this one below is similar to the photo I posted yesterday, but it's different. It's actually a few images stitched together to form a very wide angle shot, wider than my 16mm lens can cover. The panoramic images have been selling well at the galleries so I always try capture these lately if the composition works out.
I hope you enjoyed getting a bit of a closer look at that cool inversion effect. Thank you for looking and have a great day!

Beautiful shots. Liquid gold 😁
Thank you! H2O in many different forms. But I also see green, I believe that first one will do well at the galleries...
Before the New Year I was in Dagestan. This is the southernmost region of Russia. Caucasus. We were descending from the mountains into the valley and there was a thick fog below like this! I couldn't take a photo. The windows of the bus were fogged up and it was impossible to stop there. We need a special platform. And we were in a hurry for dinner, and then on the plane.

Food first, always... Glad you got to see a similar look in Russia. There's so many mountains and valleys around here, I guess I'm spoiled and used to the look. It does always make me happy to see it though.
this pictures are awesome, almost looks like a video game, how yellow/orange is the sky, have never seen a sunset like it, thx for sharing this amazing pictures✌️
We get some pretty intense colors up here at sunrise and sunset. Glad you like the photos!
Another beautiful day... that cloud cover 😍
Such a great morning out there! When I drove back along the lake it just seemed like another boring cloudy day down there. It was nice to be up above it for a while. Cheers!
