Challenge:Brown (Basic Editing) Camera:Fujifilm FinePix E510 Zoom Location: A wooded area in Appleton, WI Date: Dec 19, 2006 Aperture: 5.5 ISO: 200 Shutter: 320 Galleries:Nature Date Uploaded: Dec 19, 2006
I chose a location where the sun was shining down into a ravine. I focused on the trees in the background and then moved in front of some closer branches to put them out of focus. In editing, I played with saturation levels until I got it just right. Then I applied sharpness to make the detail jump out. And thats it.

That stick in the middle distracts me. When I look beyond however I don't see a true subject. I would have probably focused in on something a little more specific and shot that. There are lots of great oppertunitys there I just think you went for all of them at the same time. 5
Suddenly, I feel like a stalker out of a horror movie... I am feeling the photograph but the branch nearest the camera gives me a headache trying to look past it... I think it might be because of the blur... it just hurts my eyes...
Problem with these woodsy shots--there's so much detail it is just too noisy. The out-of-focus branch in the foreground is very distracting. Nice browns though.
