\"Monumental<\/a>

Monumental Shell<\/p><\/div>\n

As I have mentioned before, one of the features I like best about the H9\/H50 cameras from Sony is the tilt out articulated LCD. It allows getting right down on the ground for images without actually laying down. It allows upward angles from ground level (something that is difficult even if you do lay down). In this case, laying down was not really an option unless I was willing to get wet all over.<\/p>\n

When you combine the articulated LCD with a very close macro ability, all kinds of new photographic options open up.<\/p>\n

Just a shell on the beach, becomes a monument to shelldom.<\/p>\n

Sony DSC H9 at full wide (32mm equivalent). F5.0 @ 1\/200 @ ISO 100. Programed Auto. Macro mode.<\/p>\n

In Lightroom, basic processing for Presence and sharpness. Recovery and some Fill Light was used to aid the transparency of the water. I used a graduated filter effect to further darken the sky, and added a bit of saturation to the filter as well. Levels were adjusted to bright up the lights +60 and subdue the darks -20. (It is maybe important to mention again that though it sounds like a lot of manipulation in Lightroom, I spent less than 3 minutes on this image in post…Lightroom is very fast.)<\/p>\n
