I agree that it looks fine as-is, but another technique would be to bracket your exposures then do a little masking in photoshop.

One of my favorite subjects at my favorite time of year:

A few from Sunday. Sorry, I know this is picture of the day and not picture(s), but I don't get on here to post much anymore....

Saw this when I took the dog out for his morning pee. Damn cold but beautiful morning in Auffach, Austria:

Later in the day after hiking up to the top of a sidecountry peak at Schatzberg (Treasure Mountain).

Sweet powder on the way down. This is my buddy who hiked up with me on my second go-around.

From the 30th, South face of Grizzly Mountain in Rogers Pass:

White balance is fine on that pic. He's in a BLUE tunnel. Mom in the sun looks normal.

I know that. From a technical standpoint WB is fine & the photo is fine.
But I look at it and the first thing I think is DAMN what's wrong with that kid?
I just think from a creative standpoint some kind of correction would be appropriate... I guess it's a personal choice.

**kidwoo** · 02-02-2011, 11:22 AM

Maybe the kid's just holding his breath?

Very Nice Shots. Can you tell me where and what settings you used for these photos? I always try to duplicate great shots and try to learn from them. thanks.

Elko, NV-home of cowboys, miners, basque restaurants and brothels. And some interesting neon...

**Mathematics** · 02-02-2011, 11:06 PM

^really like the first one, good pop and I dig the glow on the trees. how are you liking the d7000? the more shots I see from it the more I am reconsidering the jump to full frame.

Love the camera but the glass is driving me nuts. I am pleased out to 630mm, I can reach 900mm but IQ suffers if my object is moving. Would love some fast glass in a 400, 500 or 600mm FL but can't justify the price. Been shooting lots of eagles lately and am borderline frustrated.

I think the creepy blueness is part of the charm. It's a whole world in there just as the kid sees it.

I took these deep into the Na Pali Coast, right around noon. My camera was on aperature priority at 6.3...I think, auto ISO. Passing storm clouds and large cliffs made auto functions my friend. Shot with canon body and ef-200 2.8

Noon, wow. The shaft of light effect makes them so awesome... Right place, right time.

Seconded, it doesn't seem to be that often you get such strong shadows with big water.

The closest I can think for most people is some late evening whitewater with lights and even still I can't think of any feature quite that large that you could light.

Hopefully I haven't posted this before - Brunswick, ME in December

An a new shot from Puerto Williams, Chile a couple of days ago. We've had a pretty good sunset every other day now it seems.
