Down by the Stream at Dusk

How about going with more of a lava look:

It's funny; the as is one's look the least "real."

No. 1, is beautiful, but it looks painted almost. It is the most surreal of the bunch.

I like the corrected ones better.

Thanks so much for the feedback all- I think I prefer the corrected ones myself but I do like the 'as-shot' ones because it almost looks like moon light or something.

By the way which planet were these shot on

Seriously, just how did you get these shots?

They were taken in the evening with a tripod- shutter lock up- cable release.

(Planet Tennessee)

I'd have thought you'd have used shutter priority over aperture. I see you went the other way. Any reason why?

I used aperature priority to control the depth of field. I was less worried about shutter speed because I knew it would be long enough to blur the moving water.

Can you share your EXIF data on these shots?

The full EXIF is intact in the images- but they were shot at ISO 200 at f16 for a 30 second exposure. Nikon D300 & 17-55/2.8 lens.

I vote for the corrected versions, but the blue-tint ones are compelling images as well. Where at Disney did you take these?

LOL- I do venture outside Disney occasionally.

RAW is amazing!!

I agree with you on shooting RAW- a dramatic difference by clicking the little eyedropper on a grey rock.

What white balance gave it that look?

The camera was in Auto-ISO as usual- which read the sceen around 4200- the correction warmed it up to around 10000.

Nice.

Thanks again all-
