This is a single 30 second exposure captured in high winds during a winter storm at a sub-lake of ancient Lake Lahontan in Nevada. It took quite a few attempts to capture a sharp image, due to wind gusts up to 60 mph. I shielded the camera with my open jacket during the long exposure. Captured February 2014… This image is NOT for sale in ANY medium. © MIKE CLASEN PHOTOGRAPHY http://www.mikeclasenphotography.com
This image was captured in May 2015 at Lake Tahoe in mid/late afternoon. The recent storms passing over the Sierra Nevada had brought many photo ops to say the least! This image is an exposure blend of two long exposures to show the rapidly changing light scenario within several minutes. MIKE CLASEN PHOTOGRAPHY http://www.mikeclasenphotography.com
A full moon rises behind light cloud cover casting a ghostly glow beyond fractured, and toppled tufa formations. These tufa formations were created thousands of years ago from discharging springs at the bottom of ancient Lake Lahontan, located in what would later be named, North America. What this place must have looked like to the native peoples from hundreds and thousands of years ago when they viewed these lands. Imagining the night skies not impacted by light pollution from modern cities, and the beaming stars and moonlight illuminating this ancient landscape, it is truly fascinating! Captured January 2015, this is a single exposure. © MIKE CLASEN PHOTOGRAPHY www.mikeclasenphotography.com
