Prairie Lake with Storm

Prairie Lake with Storm

The North Dakota Prairie sometimes seems as much water as land. There are potholes, ponds, marshes, and fair sized lakes dotting the landscape wherever you look. This small lake is on the edge of Chase Lake NWR, again, on a day full of intermittent rain and glowering skies.

Sony DSC H50 at full wide. F5.6 @ 1/400th @ ISO 100. Programed Auto.

Dual graduated filters in Lightroom. From the top to darken the sky to its natural tone, and from the bottom to increase brightness and contrast. General Vibrance and Clarity and Landscape sharpen preset.

From Potholes and Prairies 2009.
