"Misty morning on Paudash Lake"

Photo courtesy of Rick DaSilva.                      (Click on the photo for a larger view) The vast expanse of Canada is dotted with thousands of scenic lakes, and today's picture gives us just a glimpse of their natural beauty and serenity. Here is photographer Rick DaSilva's story behind the image: "This photograph was taken on Paudash Lake near Cardiff, Ontario over Labour Day weekend at 6:30 am with the sun breaking through the cloud cover. I had taken a shot but with a water trampoline, and it was suggested that a Canoe would be interesting. I tried to reshoot it but the conditions were not exactly the same. You can view "Morning Sun" on my Flickr page to compare the two. Enjoy! This image was shot at 30mm focal length, F/4.5 at 1/400 second, ISO 100. Canon Rebel XSi. Straight from the camera with no post processing whatsoever."     --Rick DaSilva   Visitor Comments... Name: Nancy Goodwin Town: Arlington, VA This is such a lovely scene.
