Taken below Lake Sam Rayburn Dam in 16:9 Aspect Ratio using the Quantaray 70-300mm Lens at the forks of The Angelina River.

Angelina River Sunset 1.7 is a companion to 1.8. I was able to achieve the deep tones and textures in Black and White using a Center-Weighted Average Metering mode for this photo as well. Also using a little Depth Of Field to get the focus on the plants and not the water.

I focused on the windshield of my truck to get this effect. You can see the littl specs of stuff on the glass. It is funny that the world does not look blurry like this photo. Our eyes are amazing things...

I just love how the sun is reflecting on the water in this photo and how deep orange the sky is.

More fun using Depth Of Field to get the bushes in sharp focus and the river and sunset blurry. Amazing Sunset on the river this evening.

Just a little fun using Depth of Field to achieve this effect while shooting in Center-Weighted Average Metering Mode to get the deep, dark tones.
