Finding Gold in Stanley Lake

Description

The Photo Story:

This is one my favorite spots in Idaho.  The shore of Stanley Lake, looking South to McGowen peak.  I’ve been here many times but I had never taken the opportunity to view it at 2:00 in the morning.  The sight of the golden galactic center reflecting in the the lake below was just amazing.

While I was taking this photo, I heard something behind me. Of course it’s pitch black and I can’t see what it is so I turn around and shone my light on a sweet little deer who was just wandering by – not bothered by me at all. The peacefulness of that moment was a perfect fit to the scene. What a sight – in both directions.

Right after taking this photo I looked to my left to see the crescent moon rising perfectly in line with length of the lake to the East. I quickly changed lenses, found my way to the West side of the beach and snapped a few pictures – all of which turned out to be terribly out of focus because I bumped the focus ring in all my excitement.  Oh well, at least I have the memory of it.  It was quite a sight.

Details

• Canon 5D with 14mm
• Sky – 24 second exposure
• Ground – 84 second exposure

My Recommendation:
This print hangs beautifully on the wall as a Metal Print at 12×18 or larger.  No frame is necessary with the metal print as it floats off the wall just a bit and creates it’s own sense of a frame with a slight shadow.

Shipping:
It ships directly to your door from the print house in California.  Shipping costs are quite reasonable, around $20.

Want a unique size or design?
Yes!  I can work with you to make this photo fit your office or home in any size or shape you need, in any format or material including canvas.  I work with a fabulous print house that can do amazing things.  Just contact me and we’ll get you exactly what you need.
