Sometimes when I photograph a place often I have to think outside the box to get a new perspective. On a recent trip to Reelfoot Lake, which is a place I love to photograph, I decided I wanted to go to a very remote part of the lake where the cypress trees are 600 to 700 years old and take some long exposures. I hired a guide with a special boat and off we went into the swamp. With a pair of hip waders, camera, tripod and neutral density filter this is what happened.
