Almost!

Almost the right exposure! Sorry for the blur, the shutter speed should have been faster than 1/13. However, I really like the composition, reflections, colour, and of course, catching the setting sun through the trees while paddling along shore of this small island in the St. Lawrence. Very tricky to catch the sun like this as we are moving on the river and it very briefly becomes visible through the trees. A minute later it was below the island. It requires multiple shots to catch it like this, unfortunately the exposure was just too slow for the limited light and our movement. Interestingly, the shot taken right after (below) with the same settings had a shutter speed of 1/40 and was much sharper but the sun was not visible. I usually shoot in aperture priority and set the ISO. There's just not enough time to adjust camera settings while paddling as photography from the canoe is a very dynamic process.
