I was going through Backup Drives to cleanup duplicate files & unneeded images and I found a folder with sunset images from Blackwater NWR. The sunsets at Blackwater NWR can be very colorful and dramatic. The Featured Image was taken with a Canon 15mm Fisheye lens on a Canon 1DmkIII and was taken a little closer to the exit than the image below. The images taken with the 15mm Fisheye were adjusted in Photoshop to remove the “Fisheye” Look & Effect but maintain the wide view.

I know these views, Reed! π These captures are spectacular! β€οΈ
Snow Geese and White Pelicans are at Blackwater now. With all the Eagles also being reported, I’ve been itching to visit again soon. Oh oh oh, and on the way in Cambridge along the waterfront there is a Snowy Owl right now too! π
Thanks Donna! We have been wanting to go back to Blackwater but do not seem to get there! Plus since we retired it is an hour closer! But hopefully soon we will get there!
Nice dramatic shots, Reed, esp. the last two… beautiful!
Thanks so much Eliza! Blackwater NWR is my favorite place to photograph! Great landscapes & Eagles!
