12/24/07 - Gazebo

Another foggy morning shot. This is *almost* straight from the camera. The falls and bottom area were included to provide context, but after shooting this at f/29 to get the entire scene in sharp focus (and succeeding) I felt that it confused the issue as to what the real subject of the image is. I wanted to emphasize *gazebo* in a pretty setting and not *pretty setting* that happens to include a gazebo. So - I used Nik's Color Efex Pro' (CEP) Vignette Blur filter to soften and add some "haze" to this area. The top 2/3 of the image is "as was".

Nikon D300
1/2s f/29.0 at 46.0mm iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

A stunning visual, Ed ... the subdued colors, the reflection, the mist ... absolutely perfect. VVVV
