Hi @jayasimha78 ,

Thanks a lot for the nice and professional photo!

I am curious what’s the shutter speed that you used? Did you use a stand and a filter?

You can check this post, because is also about photography and it might be interesting for you: 3 versteckte Orte in Bulgarien um wunderschöne Landschaftsfotos aufzunehmen.

@PoliMC Thanks for the appreciation.

This was shot in 2014 with Nikon D7000 copped sensor, just before I migrated to a full frame camera.

I did not use a filter, of course used a tripod. Here are the settings

f/8 30Sec 11mm ISO 100

Objective was to get enough distortion is the reflection. Since it was slightly past sunset I was able to ge t a 30 Sec exposure without ND filter.
