Lake Tahoe Dam

Lake Tahoe is a natural lake, but there is also a small dam at the lake's only outlet (the Truckee River). The Lake Tahoe Dam minimally increases the lake's capacity by 732,000 acre feet (903,000,000 m³) and it only controls the top 6 feet (2 m) of the lake.

Image notes: This is a 5 frame HDR 1 EV apart tone-mapped a couple of different ways that were blended together, curves/contrast, applied LucisArt and then blended the result on a non-hdr frame. It seemed a good subject to have some fun with Lucis, hope you all enjoy. ;-)
