Spring*

Frederiksberg, Denmark

Another backlit shot taken with my 15mm Sigma lens - and with the sun in the frame.
Taken at the gardens of the Royal Danish Garden Society (Det Kgl. Danske Haveselskab).

Except for cropping (from the top) and a slight sharpening of the foreground,
not much was done in the post-processing of this one.

I have posted another shot from this time and place in the exhibition gallery. I couldn't make
up my mind of which one to put in the eligible and which one to put in the exhibition gallery.
Please let me know what you think. The other one's here:_ http://www.pbase.com/image/27565654

Canon EOS 10D ,Sigma 15mm f/2.8 EX Fisheye
1/125s f/8.0 at 15.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Thanks Ann and Anna! Anna, yes the sun seems particularly bright this time of year. My theory is that it is because it's still at such a low angle. The low angle of the sun creates long and deep shadows as well as glare in pavements etc - extremely contrasty and hard on your eyes! Beautiful nonetheless - and so needed after the darkness of winter! --Olaf

Beautiful spring colors and great dof in this one Olaf. After the dark winter the April sun seems a bit harsh but you have made a perfect exposure.

Wow Olaf. This is gorgeous. You are a bit later in spring than we are. I love the huge mass of crocuses in this with the great tree above. Ann C
