Canon EOS-1D Mark II N, Shooting Date/Time: 10/24/2008 09:30:49, Shutter Speed 1/60Sec. Av(Aperture Value) F22, Evaluative metering, Exposure Compensation: 0, ISO 100, Lens: EF300mm f/2.8L IS USM, Focal Length: 300.0 mm. On my Gitzo Tripod with Wimberley 2 Head, cable release and double bubble level.
This is from Route 160 in Parsonsfield Maine, overlooking the Kezar Falls area, out of frame here, with Mt Washington in the background and the fall colors of the foothills to the White Mountains. The colors are just fading with some decent bright spots still to be seen. I used my Canon 5D and the 28-135 but did not like the results. Not enough mountains and too much up close valley. So I got out my Canon MK2N with the 300 2.8 and took a few closer frames. This is one of 3 at different exposures, straight up and -1/3 and +1/3.
I use PS 6.0. I opened my RAW file in Canon's latest Digital Pro software and made minor contrast, white balance changes, then converted it to a tiff file for PS. I made some levels, color balance, contrast at 70% opacity, cropped it for 9x12, signed it then posted it. What do you think of it?
I left the small shack in the middle to left side because it was there. I usually do not clone out anything. The other image made with the 5D and 28-135 had about 6 or so homes, some towers and other distractions. Another reason I chose to go this route instead. We are at 24 degress right now and a heavy frost warning is in effect. Snow up on the big top! Winter is here folks.
