On Sunday I bushwhacked up Cascade via Laramore Mountain and as usual took a bunch of pics.
I was disappointed in each one of one particular series. (Best one included here with a Photoshopped copy).
It was a brilliant day and the shots were taken at about 10:00 am.
What moved me was the lush grass with the open hardwood forest. One of my problems was the sh*tty display on my Powershot A540. I relied on the histogram to check the exposure.
I used Aperture Value with a small aperture, and "Spot" (as in Evaluative, Center Weighted Average and Spot) I played with a few other settings and kept this picture after deleting a lot of bad ones, mostly over-exposed. I depressed the button half-way while focusing on the foreground (about 10 feet in front of me) then swung the camera up to take THIS PICTURE .
How could I have taken a better picture? Feel free to include every element in the critique.
To get the pics on-line I used PSE's gallery creation feature in the Organizer and uploaded through the Organizer directly using my FTP client's protocol.
Select "slideshow" under "view" and you'll see slightly larger versions in the display. You can manually control which pic you see in order to flip back and forth.
I think that's about it.
Thanks gentlemen!
