The final pictures for 2011.<\/p>\n

When I was about to leave Cape Porpoise the other day on my Snowy Owl prowl, I turned to see that a shaft of sun had come in under the cloud over to light up the harbor and the town. It was not the usual warm low sun<\/em> shaft that sometimes leaks under the cloud cover at sunset, but a shaft of mid-day winter light\u2026it turned the water of the harbor bright green, and picked out every detail in the boats and houses of the village. It was stunning. I hurried across the parking lot and out on to the deck at the (closed for the winter) clam shack to catch a few shots before the clouds closed in and shut off the light. This shot is zoomed in to frame the village and the church. <\/p>\n

Canon SX40HS at 112mm equivalent field of view. f4.5 @ 1\/500th @ ISO 160. Program with iContrast and \u20131\/3EV exposure compensation. <\/p>\n

And here is the side shot (24mm equivalent).<\/p>\n

Processed in Lightroom for Intensity and Sharpness. Auto color temperature adjustment to match the green in the two shots. Some extra Recovery and some exposure and brightness adjustment in the second shot to tame the highlights. <\/p>\n
