I've posted a couple of these before, but not the others...

Len's submissions:

Catahoula Lake sunset pano

This was a nine (?) image panorama. It was a challenge to keep adjusting exposure as the light faded while I took the shots. Never mind the mosquitos... 

Kincade Lake sunset

Shot through a 10-stop ND filter, long exposure

El Capitan sunrise

Mightly el Capitan in the Guadalupe Mountains, Texas. This is just the tip-top of the mountain. It was a fairly hazy morning so it was a challenge to get a blue sky. For a sense of scale, it's about a thousand foot vertical rise from the brown mesa-like exposed cliff to the peak.

Exhibition-only (non-entry) images:

Grandview Vista after sunset

The view southward from the Grandview Vista on Rich Mountain, Arkansas. Part of the Talimena Scenic Drive.

Still water before sunset

A long exposure shot just before the sun set, through a 10-stop ND filter, of Lake "B" at the Beauregard Wildlife Management Area.

Sunset over Buhlow Lake

This is a small lake in town. There's a little airport on the other side (the lights to the right). I would've liked to have included more water, but there was a few branches / plants intruding on the lower edge that I had to crop off. I didn't notice them while shooting.

Mississippi River sunset

Looking westward from our B&B deck in Natchez, MS, across the Mighty Mississippi, over Vidalia, LA toward the sunset. In retrospect the tree should be less in the frame but too late now (15 years later). 

Davis Mountains sunrise

The lonely moon hangs in the sky over the west Texas Davis Mountains before sunrise.
