Although it was an incredibly beautiful day yesterday, fishing on Lake Tahoe, I was struggling to find any super photogenic scenes to shoot that would make nice large prints. But at one point, the light breeze created an interesting look to the surface, and I saw some potential for some fun abstract reflection shots. I posted a wider angle view as well, so you can see where these reflections came from. And I posted a photo of the fishing rod I was using, just because I want to brag about how beautiful and incredible of a time I had out there!
Abstract prints aren't my best sellers even though they are some of my favorite photos. What do you think? Do you like these Lake Tahoe surface abstracts? And can you picture seeing them on your wall?
Shot with a Canon R5 MarkII and a Canon 100-500mm lens. The ISO was 1600, the lens aperture was f/20, and the shutter speed was 1/1000. Handheld. The abstract image were flipped upside down in editing, I shot with that in mind as I thought it would be a better look.
Here's a wide angle view of the scene, below.
Yummy! The mackinaw we caught was delicious!
Thanks for looking, and I hope you have a great day!

Oh, and I'm posting this room mock-up so you can image how the image would look printed big on a wall. We have a gallery here in Truckee that sells tons of large abstract paintings. I like the abstracts they exhibit, so here's my attempt at the look.
I like the abstract shots but still love the mountain views more.
Lake trout are biting here but still under the ice. My son caught this lovely fish last week.
Nice one! They are always a fun fish to catch.
Sometimes you really have in mind or are looking for a photo with a specific theme, but this place and winter are so beautiful that they make you fall in love with another part. And you get lost in that part. In fact, nature is constantly bewitching us humans who both look at it and feel it with our very existence. I think you are like me. Right?
