It’s from a series I have been working on for some years now shooting water using slow shutter speeds. Looking back at the metadata I was surprised to see that this one dates back to 2009 when I was still shooting JPEG files with a Canon 40D, which is a far cry from the Raw files from my Canon Mark II with much better glass these days.
This shot was taken at 1/4 second, f/2.8 and 800 ISO. On this particularly calm evening I was trying to capture the way the setting sunlight caught the very crest of the small wake of my boat while retaining that smooth flow of the lake that you can only get with a slow shutter speed. For me this shot perfectly captures the last light of that warm still night summer night on the lake.

Congratulations to Doug on a beautiful winning image!
