Deep Autumn on the Little River<\/p><\/div>\n

Another not so easy exposure. I really wanted the wispy clouds in that very blue sky, so the foreground went dark. It took a Graduated Filter effect in Lightroom to bring it back up to where I am happy with it…but, oh, the sky!<\/p>\n

I also cropped out some of the river in the foreground as it was too strong an element in the composition.<\/p>\n

Sony DSC H50 at full wide (31mm equivalent). F5.6 @ 1\/640th @ ISO 100. Programmed auto. I tipped the camera up to meter more of the sky and locked exposure before reframing for composition.<\/p>\n

As mentioned above, Graduated Filter and cropped in Lightroom. The GF effect was pulled up from the bottom to cover about 2\/3s of the image. Added 60 Exposure, and some Clarity and Contrast. Added Clarity and Vibrance overall, Sharpen Landscape preset.<\/p>\n
