Sunset over Five Mile Pond
Sunset over Five Mile Pond

I was out at Camp Cachalot in Plymouth, Massachusetts over the weekend, for the ranger’s daughter’s birthday party. I had brought my camera with me to take pictures not only at the party, but also to get a few shots to document the progress on an ongoing project at the camp. As I was headed back up to the Ranger’s house, near the 21 Club, one of the cabins in camp, I looked across Five Mile Pond and saw this view. I couldn't not take a picture. Sunsets like this one are actually pretty common out at Cachalot, and I wish I was able to spend as much time out there as I did when I was younger, so I could see more of them.

I was traveling sans tripod, so I shot handheld, bracketed +/-2 stops. This is an HDR merge of those three shots, tonemapped in Photoshop, and overlaid at about 50% over the "normal” exposure. I think it captures what my eyes actually saw quite well.

The dock in the foreground isn't normally in this position, but it is free-floating in the pond at the moment and was just fortuitously positioned the day I took this photo.
