Here's a follow-up to the last post ...
Since most people disagreed with me on the effectiveness of the sepia tone in bringing out the reflection with clarity, here's the picture in color:
Where : Mirror lakes, Fiordland National Park, South Island, New Zealand
When: Summer '07, Roadtrip
Photographer, Camera: Me, Canon SD 800
And here's this weeks pic:
Where: Death Valley National Park, California, USA
When: Spring break, 2006
Photographer, Camera: Me, Olympus (Krishna's camera)
So we (me and a bunch of friends) were having awesome fun rolling in the huge sand dunes in Death Valley, which is by the way a land of magnificient extremes. A must-see for anyone living in the US, I'd say. And yeah, as the sand-dune-rolling continued, the sunset was quick, dramatic and transient, with hues changing by the second. Even a certain Mr.Dali would have been enraptured by this awesome sight. This photograph was taken during the dying moments of sunset, with the rays illuminating the edge of the desert and the contours of the Pantamint mountains. Breathtaking and spiritual.

maybe you should title the photo cracking up :D
the non-sepia photo is nice. though the reflection is not the first thing i noticed, it sort of crept up on me.
doesn't the mountain look nicer in the water?
:). The picture looked great in the sepia tone, as well, but, as expected, the beauty of the reflection becomes more visble in colour.
The sunset: truly breathtaking! And really good work with the camera. Way to go!
SO MUCH fight for 2.5 photo. I like the natural one better, its beautiful! The colours are wasted with the sepia tone.
As for the death valley pic, I think the one I took with a halo around your head(the only time), is more "surreal".
Tell me the truth. Did you take that pic, really?! ;-)
I hope this is the kind of traveling that awaits my PhD life! Mirror lakes pic is just out of this world!
@ snowbeak: That caption cracked me up, but I'll pass :P . And I agree, the hills look nicer in water - I reckon its because the bright light from the sky leads to overexposure
@ abhi, SS: Thanks!
@ Ash: I did, baby :-) - promise + cross my face :D
@ Venkat: Thats the only good thing about doing a PhD, isn't it? :)
