shimmeringdrops

Photo Details
Poster: BansGran  (see this users gallery)

my first page for this month's Photography Challenge

shimmering drops enhanced by the setting of the sun.... September 1, 2008

I took this photo as the sun was beginning to set- time 6:32:37

camera settings
exposure 1/100
f|5.3
ISO speed 100
Shutter Priority
Enhanced setting for Colour Saturation

I was trying to highlight the water drops on the cygnet's head... I like how the light makes them shimmer.. I tried a couple other speeds, but this was the best of the photos

I am not sure if I mentioned it before or not, but I upgraded to the D80.. I miss the weight of the D70s but I really like having the extra mp's..

Paper by Mary Ridgeway from her August Reward Kit 3
Swirl from Reward Kit 4

fonts are CK Maternal and CK Penman

What a super photo to start the challenge! The richness of the colors in shadow are superb and the water drops look so fresh. Beautifully embellished and the fonts are so elegant. So wonderful!!
