Lake Lanier Shoreline Sunrise (0865)

            I tried a new location for sunrise shots up at Lake Lanier, about an hour north of Atlanta, arriving just before the sun did at the shores in Flowery Branch GA.  The view was pretty stunning to see, with the shoreline sweeping out into the lake, with a small stand of pine trees at the end of the peninsula of land.  

I used a wide angle lens to capture it all, and added an 8-stop neutral density filter to smooth out the water (creating a 5 second photo).  The ND filters are a nice way to "calm" any movement in the water or clouds.  A polarizing filter was laready on the lens, which I left on, simply adding the additional ND filter to it.  The combination of the two filters appears to increase the saturation levels as seen in both the blues of the sky and the pink color shades of the sunlight in the clouds.

Comments and constructive feedback are always appreciated!
