Molonglo Reach is at the west end of Lake Burley Griffin in Canberra, Australia. Where the Molonglo River feeds into the lake, which is artificial. After twelve hours taxi driving I spied mist on the water as I drove past at 6am, so dragged myself in there to take advantage. Glad I did. This was sharpened a tad, cropped to get the waterline centred horizontally and mildly diffused to bring up the mist a bit more. Nothing else was done, not even a tweak of the levels. I'm pretty happy with this shot. :) Canon S3IS, f2.7, iso 80, can't remember exposure time, brain not super sharp by that point of the shift. :) Mikel.

Thank you all for your generous praise. I have to say that nature did all the hard work, the cold air, the soft sun, the fringe of wintery trees between sun and water, the mist just thick enough to see but not thick enough to obscure everything. Even the ducks that made the ripples trying to get away from me. lol. I just took fifty or sixy photos and one or two of them came out good. :) Ah the joys of digital capture! I'm glad folks are enjoying the result, that makes me happy, and it is nice to hear that people are. Thanks again.
Mikel.

So magical, this. It was neat to read how you had been driving around working in your taxi and then you stopped to take this picture. It's an unusual combination to me. Anyway, this is ethereal. It must have been magificent in real life - you sure captured it perfectly on film.
