Featured Photo: When the Earth Stopped
 When the Earth Stopped Because of bad fog, I didn't get to the location till after sunrise. Standing in two feet of mud, I tried to salvage the situation. I used 15 stops of filter - a B&W 10-stop, a Lee Grad 3 and a 2-stop Tobbaco Grad. It's a single exposure. The image was too hot so I reduced the temperature in Lightroom which gave this tint ... no other fancy software. © Nick Lagos Canon EOS 30D Digi... |
