Sunrise at Dauphin lake. I didn't quite get the sunstar effect that I usually do but I like the way it turned out with the reflection. This wasn't a long exposure, it was simply a really calm morning with water that was as smooth as glass.
This is spring on Lake Winnipeg, Canada. The ice had melted on the lake but there were still some piles of ice on the shore that had been pushed there by the waves. This was a very small cavity in the ice and I had to lie down and put the camera into the crevice and use the self-timer, then pull it out and check to see if the shot had worked out. I had to try many exposures to get the focus and composition correct.
A friend and I were racing against the clock to find a nice subject to photograph with the sunset. We saw this lone tree in a field and liked the way the branch framed the setting sun. We got to it with just enough time to set up and get a few shots before the sun was gone. This was taken in the farmland around St. Francis Xavier, just east of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
