This is one of several images I have from a very chilly and moody morning at Antelope Lake in Plumas County, California. The annual “”Junuary” cold front we always seem to get after Memorial Day was on its way out, but the clouds were still battling with the sun for dominance. The warming lake surface meeting the cold air made conditions foggy, adding more to the mood. As this scene was fairly monochromatic already, I felt a black and white treatment was in order. I also added just a bit of deliberate blur in post-production to enhance the overall dreamy and moody feel I had while observing the scene.
