New Lake Tahoe Boulder Photo Shot Sunday

This is one of the "keeper" photos from Sunday's little photo adventure to the east shore of Lake Tahoe. The cool cave-like boulder is located at Whale Beach. This area of shoreline is my favorite spot on Lake Tahoe for photography, it is incredibly beautiful with granite boulders along the shore of aqua, emerald, and blue waters.

The sun was down low, approaching sunset, and I was able to line it up along the side of the boulder in order to get a great looking sunburst. The making of this photo can be seen in my latest @dtube video HERE.

Shot on a Canon 5DS R with a 16-35mm lens set at 16mm. A tripod and shutter release cable were used along with a polarizing filter in order to cut through the glare on the surface of the lake a bit. The ISO was 50, the shutter speed was 1/5 second, which allowed me to have an aperture of f22. The small aperture of f22 helps with creating bigger "rays" off of the sunburst. The shadow detail was lightened quite a bit in Adobe Photoshop's Camera Raw feature.




Thank you for looking, watching, and reading!
