Bonsai Rock is located on the north-east side of Lake Tahoe, in Nevada, about 45 minutes from South Lake Tahoe. If you stand on the east shore you can get spectacular sunset photos with the rock in the foreground and the sunset in the background. Ever since I saw his photo this place was on my list of things I wanted to photograph! I had a gorgeous sunset (at one point the sunset over the mountains made it look like the mountains were on FIRE!) with some great color but I couldn't keep the photo simple enough to my liking -- there were just too many rocks in the photo. I didn't realize that the water level of Lake Tahoe rises and falls. Just as I was about to leave and call it a disappointing failure I thought about taking this one last, simple, composition zooming in on the rock. The sun had set about 15 minutes earlier but the color in the sky all of a sudden lit up further west than it had earlier and a long exposure (2.5 minutes) got the silky smooth water and brought out the color in the sky! I'm quite happy with how this came out!
