There is a strange, almost haunted feel to the river flood plain where the Minnesota meets the Mississippi. My capture of this light and air was made with 9 focus and exposure stacked frames, taken from the observation platform at the bottom of the main trail out of the Minnesota Valley Wildlife Refuge visitor center. I am using a long telephoto lens and processing the flatness out of the depth of field to achieve a slightly unreal feeling, something the eye can sense but the brain can't describe exactly. What do you think?

Pretty darn full Sturgeon moon as seen from my driveway about 7 hours before complete fullness... A landscape. Just not an Earthscape.

Cooper Hawk, Robin. Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge, Wednesday Aug. 16 2018.

Dawn regimine pays off well. Normandale Lake, perhaps excessive HDR in photomatix but I am going for the paint-y look.

Dawn on Summer Solstice at Mt. Normandale Lake in Bloomington MN. The surface of the water was glassy smooth and the slight texture in the clouds caught the brief colors of the sunrise beautifully.
