New Donner Lake Sunset Photos

avatar
(Edited)

I recently got out for some new Donner Lake sunset photos. It had been a while since I shot any new landscapes, or posted on Hive. Life has been challenging lately. Lots of changes. One of the silver linings to everything that is going on, is that I am moving into a new studio apartment right across the street from this location!

After making myself dinner at my new pad, I noticed that a nice colorful sunset was developing. Well, instead of driving 15 minutes to this spot, I walked across the street with my gear. It took about 60 seconds to get there! These docks are often busy this time of year and it can be challenging to find one that doesn't have a group of people on it. But in the evening and early morning, there are usually one or two docks open. I have also been fishing a bit from the docks when I have a little free time. And I can now drag my kayak across the street and go for a paddle. It's a pretty cool location to live!

As I settle into my new living situation, I should be able to easily get out for more Donner Lake and Lake Tahoe photos soon... And you should start seeing me post more here on hive again.

The photo above was shot about three minutes before the photo below. Both with a Canon 5DSr and a 24-105mm lens.

I couldn't decide which one I liked better. A- with orange clouds, or B- with pink clouds and a bit of the silhouetted pine tree in the foreground. Which one is your favorite???

Thanks for looking. As I said, I hope to be shooting and posting more again soon... Hope you're having a great day!

Pink clouds look dope, what you mention about not posting I get it, been on Hive since January and some times I ask myself how others can keep posting every single day none stop its a hustle to keep the streak, trying to build a new one, cool pics ✌️

Glad you like that one @skiptvads! I've been on here for a few years, and yes, every once in a while I need to take a break and not post as much. But I love it here and usually enjoy sharing and reading what others have to share.

I like B, the silhouette of the pine trees makes it a nice border in the upper right corner :D

Thank for letting me know and for sharing your reasoning! I'm glad I decided to include a bit of the pine tree after the initial shots.

No problem. I used the same technique before. Usually, I use flowers. :D

I like orange clouds less details in foreground more focus on sunset. Hope the new place works out for you 👍

the sunset lake view looks very beautiful and you can see the mountains with red clouds which look very cool, and you took some very detailed portraits and I really like it.

Waiting for your post you post after a long time and as I am very fond of seeing such scenic views and so waiting for your post anyway we can see. All these sights are very beautiful to the heart and seeing such things gives a lot of peace to the mind and heart.

It's really difficult to decide, all the photos are beautiful. The first has that bright orange with yellow color, the second has pink and pine branches, and the third has tall cypress trees and a friendly face. I think I choose the
third.

Ah... Thank you! I had a tough time deciding between the first two, but I'm glad you liked that third one.
