In my previous post I showed some pictures I took in the park at sunset, and the last picture I showed left me thinking a lot about going back to the site and improve the photography, that day being after sunset I had to let the ISO go up and I was also using a CPL filter to remove some reflections I didn't want on the water, so today I got up early and decided I had to go and focus on this beautiful landscape that is in the park that we all can visit in Tepic Nayarit.

Thanks to the fact that it was early in the morning there were not many reflections on the water and that helped me a lot to get a better picture than last time, although I must say that the texture of the trees on the right side still bother me a little bit, I will probably have to come back later to repeat the photograph but doing a focus stacking and being honest today I had the tripod with me although I didn't use it, I could have done the stacking today but I didn't want the sun to illuminate the landscape too much so I decided not to waste time, also these photographs helped me to see a few spots on my sensor that I just cleaned.
For this next image I decided to take the picture but in portrait mode still with the same lens as the previous picture.

It was time to change lens to try to get a better image, the truth is that I shot with a focal length of 60mm and I liked the result, as I said a few lines ago, I would need to do a focus stacking to get everything sharp in the image, including the rock and the grass in the foreground of the image, here the excess was eliminated by the focal length.

The following picture became my favorite, without planning it I just started zooming until I found the frame I liked, this person was walking and became part of the picture, as I say the park is nice and adults and young people can go without worry to enjoy the park, no matter if it is still early in the morning and the park is alone at that moment, the truth is that this is how you enjoy the park more because you feel that it is completely yours.

Time to change lens again and to be honest it is one of the lenses that I like even more than the 50mm, the 24mm lens makes everything come out in focus in the image and I love it, the only bad thing is that as you will see in the next image I had to crop the picture to avoid having too much sky at the top, but I really think this lens does a good job, by this time the sun was already higher illuminating and causing reflections in the water.

For the next and last picture, I decided to take the picture again in portrait mode, again I think I should do a focus stack and go down even a little more to reduce the size of the lake, that will also help me to eliminate a lot of the pollution that we can see on the water, it's funny how in a couple of minutes everything can change so fast, at the beginning when I arrived to the park the water looked crystal clear and clean, as the minutes passed it looked dirty with all those tree leaves floating on it.

I am still not satisfied and I will have to go back again one of these days in the afternoon to check and see if the picture can be improved more, I know it can, plus I also want to go back but even earlier than today, I hope to find fog over the water and I think that would look great on the picture, but for the moment that's all for today, I actually took 30 pictures for different photo contests and I need to work on them, especially because I need to remove the spots I saw on the sensor, luckily next time I go out to take pictures I won't worry about cleaning my camera because that's already taken care of, see you soon.
