Solitary Tree

I live near Blue Cypress Lake in Florida.  It is a wonderful wilderness area that has plenty of wildlife.  I enjoy kayaking along the shore of the lake where there are numerous tall cypress trees that stand in the water.  My little kayak is equipped with an electric trolling motor to reduce the amount of paddling I need to do when I am out photographing.  My camera of choice for this type of photography is the Sony A7R11 because of the five axis in camera stabilization system the camera has.  I like to use a Zeiss Batis 18mm or Sony 16~35mm zoom lens when I am out on the water.  Both lenses are ideal for these kind of images because it lets me include a lot of sky and water in the image.  I am always fascinated with these majestic trees that stand alone surrounded by water.
