I went outside at the edge of darkness, with an ND8 filter on the lens. I was set up for a 4 minute exposure to blur the clouds and the fog. I interrupted this exposure after 9 seconds, because I realized I forgot to cover the eyepiece. In reviewing the images, I realized I should have tried a short exposure. I like the striking pattern in the clouds, centered over the isthmus of land. To salvage this exposure, I had to brighten it by 5 stops in Lightroom (the maximum allowed), and then a bit more in Photoshop. The Pentax K-5 II holds up well, as usual. - Farm pond, dawn

Sunset, Monument Dam, Fort Pierre National Grassland - Waterfall, Jonathan Run
The descent from the Jonathan Run trail to the waterfall was fairly difficult; I used my tripod a lot, and sometimes my hands, to get down the slope. Getting back up was even more challenging. I pulled myself up the muddy slopes, using the rhododendrons as handles. Once I got to the top, my wife (who was waiting on the trail) let me know that I came back up by a different, and steeper, path than I had descended. - Under the bridge
