Finally another submission. I've kind of neglected deviantART for the past couple of weeks. Perhaps it's the warm weather. Lets say that. The thing is, when I finally have time off, I need to spend it out photographing.

So, here it is. Another waterscape (bleh) from the now famous lake Tyrifjorden, eastern Norway. A place I now know like the palms of my hands.

Many thanks for the support the last couple of weeks, rest assured I've read every comment.

This photo was a tad bit underexposed. The camera's LCD can really fool you sometimes. When I got this up on the good old CRT screen it was dark. Way too dark for my taste really. I stretched the exposure in Lightroom by approximately +1.5. This in turn gave me more noise. Even more noise was gained during processing it, when my contrast enhancements really tore the image apart. However, thanks to Noise Ninja, I managed to salvage the image from complete destruction. There's still a lot of visible noise left, but personally I don't find that too disturbing. Hence I'm submitting it.

The thing about doing long exposures in fading light is that when you expose for this long, you also record the fading light itself. Hence, the image becomes darker than expected.

This was a fantastic night btw, with gorgeous ever-changing light. The sunset just seemed to last forever. I wish it really did...

Thank you for looking!
