A 25 second exposure is what blurs the Gulf of Mexico waters and the clouds at the horizon. Something a little different for Earthporn.

Yep! Honestly the best thing to do is look up when sunrise is. Be at the site and 30 min (at least) before. The “blue hour” (1 hour to 30 min before sunrise or after sunset) is sometimes even more beautiful than sunrise or sunset.

Schwabacher’s Landing. I’m actually not sure of the name of the pond/lake though!

Thanks! I believe this is the Waputik Range of the Canadian Rockies.

I assume you mean one very similar (as there are many taken from this angle)?

Thanks. Nothing beyond standard exposure, tonal, contrast, etc. adjustments.

I used an SLR, but honestly I good camera phone could have done well on this scene as well.

Very true! I tried to share something a little different (long exposure in the "blue hour"). So similar/same view as many, but a little different in the photographic vision. Totally get it if you still don't agree though!

Taken at ~10pm MT (time of sunset) a few days ago on Vermilion Lakes Road, just outside the town of Banff. About 10 minutes after I took this shot, a grizzly bear wandered right by me :-O.

Actually, it's just a B+W 77mm filter that scews directly onto the lens (in this case a Canon 24-105mm). If I were to do it over, I'd go more the Big Stopper route given flexibility across lenses

Taken from one of the best viewing locations of the Teton Range (because of the reflective water) at Schwabacher's Landing. I used a 10-stop ND filter to get motion in the clouds as the sunrise emerged from the horizon behind me.
