Lone Cypress during the Blue Hour by taffy

Lone Cypress during the Blue Hour

I just returned from a 6 day trip with @jyokota to the cypress tree areas along the border of east Texas and western Louisiana. It's an area filled with lakes, swamps, and the ubiquitous cypress trees -- absolutely beautiful! Though we had literally less than 5 minutes of sun the entire time so couldn't get any of the classic sun/mist shots. I learned a lot including how to use a tripod for long exposure while in a kayak (tripod is in the water). I learned HOW to do it, but not necessarily how to do it successfully unless success means I didn't lose my gear!
Excellent capture. Not sure I'm ready to try the tripod in water. Oh...you may have waterproof equipment.

@jerzyfotos Definitely NOT waterproof equipment so it was rather stressful. I did fine a particularly shallow spot on a calm day in a kayak that was pretty stable. Some of the kayaks were too wobbly for me to feel safe so I handheld on those events.

It sounds like a challenging set up, but you ended up with a lovely photo of the blue hour. I like the simplicity of the composition too.

A lovely blue hour capture. I don't even like standing in water with my camera. I certainly wouldn't feel comfortable taking it out in a canoe.

Instant fav!

Beautifully evocative scene nicely captured -- and now this color is closer to mine. I have a lot of noise in mine, though.
