Submitter's name:	Steve Goss
Title:	Evening at White Rock Lake
Gear used:	OM2-N, Zuiko 135mm f2.8
Diaphragm:	F22 or thereabouts
Shutter speed:	Auto
Film used:	Fuji Superia 400
Technical information:	Hand held, -1 exposure compensation
Subject information:	It was Friday, at the end of the shooting season. Since I didn't have any better ideas that could be pulled off in time, I decided that there might be something worthy of a TOPE entry at White Rock Lake. There was. After just a few shots, I noticed a pair of kayakers and a sailboat about to cross the reflection of the sun.

Lovely sunset shot!

Very nice sunset, and the starred sun peeking through the trees is in exactly the right place.

Is it just me or is the horizon slighly off kilter? Great colors and composition.

Nice glitter path, and the kayaks are great. Actually I'd suggest cropping a lot more closely to concentrate more on these two aspects. I wonder how it might have looked a few minutes later with the sun in the gap between the tree and the horizon?

Barry: Yes, the horizon is probably off kilter. My verticals are only approximations, and lining things up on the scanner is iffy as well. I was hoping it was close enough. Roger: I took some without the tree, and they just weren't as good. Plus, a few minutes later, the kayakers were gone.
