Iskwatikan Lake

Pentax K20d with 12-24mm, f13 aperture, 1/60 Shutter, Evaluative metering, 100 ISO and a C-PL for reflection enhancement. We usually talk about using the polarizer to remove reflection, but it can be just as effective to add more. It was fun to experiment with this in a few different shots. Could you ask for a better day to take some pictures?
Pentax K20d with 12-24mm, f10 Aperture, 20 sec. Shutter, Evaluative metering, ISO 200. I used the C-PL again to control some of the reflections and contrast in the sky, Manfrotto tripod and a cabled release to control the exposure. Shot in full manual. This was on of the last sunsets before coming home. I loved the rim light on the boat and the great variation of colors in the sky.
Pentax K20d with 12-24mm lens, f22 Aperture, 1/5 shutter, Evaluative metering, -1 underexposed to try and compendsate for the shadowed foreground and the light of the plane. Mafrotto tripod and the IR wireless remote and C-PL to maximize reflection in the water.
This is actually at Lac Laronge in Sasketchewan, the night before we flew in to Iskatikan Lake.

Iskwatikan Lake

A trip to Canada with my Dad for some fishing, tall tales and some time off of work....and some photography too. All Images were shot using the Pentax K20d. Quite a few of them were captured using the 12-24mm lens and a polarizing filter. The views were provided by a very generous Mother Nature. I tried to stay fairly simple by keeping ISO to the 100 range for most of the daylight shots during the trip. I only used a few lenses, most specifically the 16-50, 12-24, and the 55-300. I caught a lot of fish, a lot of pictures and a lot of great memories. Thanks Dad!
