A Little Reflected Sky<\/h4>\n

This is the Little River, and the sky is well reflected, hence: A Little Reflected Sky. <\/p>\n

If you follow my posts here you might recognize the view, from the observation deck on the back side of the trail loop at Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge. I have many images captured from this deck and of this view\u2026no two alike. The tide here was full and the river brim. There is a bit of ripple on the water from the wind, but not enough to really disturb the reflection. I tried the shot with more or less reflection, and more or less sky. I like this version, but others might prefer the more sky shot below.<\/p>\n

Canon SX20IS at 28mm equivalent. F4.0 @ 1\/640th @ ISO 80. Landscape program. This is one of those rare shots that did not require any fancy metering or exposure tricks. The Landscape program gave pretty close to the ideal balance between sky and foreground.<\/p>\n

In Lightroom, a bit of Recovery to bring out detail in the reflected clouds and deepen the sky. A touch of Fill Light. Blackpoint to the right. Added Clarity and just a smidge of Vibrance. Sharpen landscape preset.<\/p>\n

And, as promised, the more sky view.<\/p>\n
