Waterfire, Cachalot-Style
Waterfire, Cachalot-Style

Headed out to camp again this weekend, for the second of our two annual alumni family camping weekends, with an almost-goal in mind: capture an interesting sunset/twilight scene on the pond that was different than what I’ve captured so far, didn’t rely on bracketed shots as a crutch, and was usable pretty much straight-out-of-camera. I got some help from an unexpected source: my friend Andy, who hadn’t stayed overnight at camp in nearly two decades, but who took the opportunity to set up a floating campfire on Five Mile, which used to be a staple of summer camp back when I was a kid and he was a staff guy.

So, this is my Nikon D7000 on a travel tripod with my Nikkor 18-300mm @ 60mm, 4s @ ƒ/5.3, ISO100. Color finishing in Aperture, but pretty close to straight out of camera.

This ended up being my favorite shot of the weekend.
