I had taken a photo a couple years before this one where I learned that railway tracks light up during the early or late part of the day when the sun hits them. I tried to get that effect with this photograph and I was happy with the result.
Long exposure at Lake Winnipeg, Manitoba. I like the way the rocks help the eye to move around the frame; the eye is drawn to the rocks, then it moves around to the clouds, then comes back to the rocks, etc. They really help "anchor" the image.
This was shot on Longbow Lake beside Lake of the Woods in Ontario. My friends were hanging out in the cabin but I was lucky enough to catch an excellent sunset over a perfectly still lake.
