Good morning! This is a sunrise photograph of the famous Bonsai Rock on the east shore of Lake Tahoe. This sunrise wasn't as explosive as I had hoped for but the soft pastel colors came together beautifully to create this a look that I find calming even though the storm looks a bit ominous.
I used a Canon 5D SR for this one. The camera was on a tripod and a long exposure (ten seconds) was used to get the soft look to the splashing waves. A polarizing filter was also used to cut through the glare on the surface and really show off those Tahoe blues (and greens).

Have a great day out there!

Nice one! I love Lake Tahoe.
Thank you! Endless photo opportunities up here...
Nice shot. I like the colours. :)
Thank you! Polarizers can really help bring out those colors.
Love the colors and softness!
Thank you! Yeah, they don't all have to be explosive with color in order to look good.
Agree, and this one is perfect as such. Very serene!
