Jenkinson Lake water fall – Sly Park Recreation Area

Rented a 25 foot RV and headed up to Jenkinson Lake in the Sly Park Recreation Area for the 4th of  July week. I was out early most mornings trying to capture the magical light on the lake. I think it was a pretty good week, as I got more good photos than mosquito bites. Enjoy the images.

No Photoshop tricks here, just a stead hand and slow shutter speed cause the blurring effect during this early morning bike ride. Canon 5D, ISO 800, f6.3, 1/13 of a second shutter speed, and a 17-40 f4.0 lens at 21mm.
