Early morning view of a boat dock in Stevens Creek Reservoir. Stacked 8 exposures to give a smooth/calm look on how the water appears - it kind of worked. This was done because I didn't have a ND filter to make a long exposure even with aperture set at F/32 already.

Exposure 0.25 sec (1/4)
Aperture f/32.0
Focal Length 150 mm
ISO Speed 100
Exposure Bias +0.7 EV
