Over the Dune<\/h4>\n

I love this kind of moment, with the drama of a storm sky over a briefly sun-bright landscape. This is a shot from just before we left for St Augustine, and I published three from this day on 4\/19<\/a>. Here we look over the dune toward the tidal marsh along Back Creek, behind Parson\u2019s Beach in Kennebunk, Maine. To me this is a close to a naked eye view as the camera can come. The extreme depth of field actually makes it look more like a painting than a photo. <\/p>\n

Technically it might be very difficult to capture this image with a DSLR\u2019s larger sensor, but the small sensor on the SX20IS, combined with the short focal length lens at its shortest setting, even at an f-stop of 2.8, yields amazing depth and clarity. And, the SX20s Landscape program hits the exposure just right for post processing for major drama.<\/p>\n

Canon SX20IS at 28mm equivalent. F2.8 @ 1\/1250 @ ISO 80. Landscape program.<\/p>\n

In Lightroom, Recovery for the sky, Fill Light for the foreground. Blackpoint right. Added Clarity and Vibrance. Sharpen landscape preset. <\/p>\n
