Description

This black-and-white landscape image shows a shoreline in the foreground, composed of dark, flat ground and several large, rounded light-colored boulders on the right. To the left, several tall evergreen trees with dark trunks stand at the water's edge. A calm, wide body of water fills the center of the frame, reflecting a pale, bright sky. In the background, dark, silhouetted mountains stretch across the horizon. Small, printed text at the bottom center of the photograph reads "MOONLIGHT ON DONNER LAKE." The image is mounted on a large, light-colored rectangular card, and a color calibration strip featuring blue, cyan, magenta, and yellow blocks is positioned along the top edge of the photo.
