For scenery on Saturday.

I was birding and shooting Point and Shoot Warblers (vireos, thrushes, etc) at Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge early one morning this week when this scene caught my eye. I switched from my User Flight mode to regular Program mode, flipped out the LCD to get low, and zoomed to effectively frame the effect I saw…but the image looks even more striking than reality. I find it a real challenge to look at. My eye won’t quite resolve it back into a natural scene. It remains abstract. I want to have a 16×20 print made. The bigger you view it the more sense it makes. It is the kind of thing you see in a corporate office, framed and hung. I think, anyway.

Nikon Coolpix P500 at 135mm equivalent field of view, f5 @ 1/200th @ ISO 160. Program mode.

Processed in Lightroom for Clarity, sharpness and impact.
