The Magic Gateway

[Gus Cobos]

This was taken on Sunday with Fabs' class at Vizcaya Gardens. This gazebo is located on the far south west corner of the dock looking towards Biscayne Bay.
This magic gateway was painted with a Nikon D200, using the Nikkor 10.5mm f/2.8G fisheye.
focal length @ 10.5mm / exposure mode @ aperture priority / matrix metering / 1/200sec. - f/22 /
ISO @ 250 / exposure comp @ +1.7EV / white balance @ auto / AF Mode @ AF-S / color mode @ sRGB /
tone comp @ 0 degrees / hue adjustment @ +2 degrees / saturation factor @ +3 degrees / no speedlight /
no tripod / lens hood attached /
Tried my best to minimize the image artefacts; as you can see I still have the green flare on the right...:eek:

Comments greatly appreciated...:cool:

Neat place Gus !!! I like how you framed it .... and stopped down for the sunburst. That lens is particularly good at it !!!

Very good exposure for obtaining inside detail !! Excellent Gus !!!! Big Congrats on this one !!!

excellent use of the fisheye!!! love it. the distortion on my 18-200VR is almost like your fisheye:p nice framing and looooooooove the starburst in the sun!!! the flare doesnt bother me. you just cant help it with shots like that!!

[Fabs Forns]

Very well done, Gus, you really did great with that lens. I may be tempted to add a little more contrast!

It looks like you are having lots of fun with that fisheye, Gus. I so wish I could be in that class with you and Fabs but it's a little too far from Vegas;)
