<\/a><\/p>\n

These are my last shots from Quoddy Head. The light as seen from the south in the heavy fog. I took a bunch of shots trying to catch the lamp lit and toward me, but the real trick was matching the color balance of this shot and the one at the foot of the blog. The fog, when zoomed in like this, really messed with the color, and cast everything blue. It took a lot of trial and error in Lightroom, working with Color Temperature and Hue to get the two images somewhere near balance\u2026and then, for this one I needed dualing Graduated Filter effects\u2026from the top to darken, from the bottom to brighten and increase contrast\u2026in order to reproduce something like the natural look of the scene. <\/p>\n

Canon SX20IS at about 100mm equivalent. F4.5 @ 1\/500th @ ISO 80. Landscape Program.<\/p>\n

Besides the dualing GF effects and color adjustments above, some Recovery, Fill Light, Blackpoint well right, added Clarity and Vibrance, and Sharpen narrow edges preset.<\/p>\n

The second image is taken from the same spot, but at 28mm equivalent. F4.0 @ 1\/400th @ ISO 80. Also Landscape Program.<\/p>\n

Similar treatment in Lightroom, without the GF effects and color balancing. This one requires a larger view.<\/p>\n

I am publishing this early since I have to be on a flight to Georgia at 6AM tomorrow morning.<\/p>\n
