Challenge: Free Study VIII (Advanced Editing IV)
Camera: Panasonic DMC-FZ15
Location: Whitby, Ontario
Date: Mar 31, 2005
Aperture: F3.3
ISO: 64
Shutter: 1/125
Galleries: Nature, Seascapes
Date Uploaded: Apr 5, 2005

 Levels: RGB - Middle 0.88, Red- Middle - 1.16
Saturation +5, Lightness +1, Contrast +5, Resized and ran through Neat Image at a light setting.

No dodging and burning this was just an awesome cloud sunset - that I busted my butt to get to in time. I was trying to get the light of the setting sun on the weeds and the trees, but I think I need more practice with shooting at dusk. Hope this doesn’t get slammed for looking over processed, the original is very close to the final.
