Hi after reading "Newbie Question about F Stops and Apertures" I tried
messing around with the F-Stop/Shutter speed this morning and was
wondering what you thought of this photo I took:
http://static.flickr.com/38/87750547_72fc81d7f2_b.jpg I used a tri-pod
and timer to avoid camera shake. I was trying to capture the colours of
a sunrise even thjough was taken around 8:30am. Hope to get an earlier
shot tomorrow.

Exposu 0.077 sec (1/13)
Apertu f/5.6
ISO: 64

The concept is good. I think a much longer exposure would have made the
photo substantially better. A long exposure would have smoothed out the
choppy water and intensified the reflection of sky in water. As the photo
is now, the choppiness is very distracting to the subject of the photo. It
also is leaving a large dark space at the bottom with very little
interest. Here's a retouch:

I straightened the horizon. Curves Adjustment layer to increase exposure
slightly. Duplicated this layer and applied a strong motion blur. Erased
all but the water. Boosted saturation slightly.


Wow, very skillful work. Magic of the digital darkroom. Absolutely
beautiful retouching; fairly ordinary photo turned into a beauty!

Very nice shot. I really like the glow in the clouds.
