From 4th of July (actually the 5th) 2013 I hereby present this marvelous sunset over West Grand Traverse Bay. Was sitting at the Open Space (or whatever it’s called now) waiting for fireworks to start. I must have decided that I didn’t want to carry the SLR & accessories through the crowd, so this was taken with the waterproof pocket cam.
The picture turned out pretty well for something that was completely unplanned. This version was one stop underexposed. I have the brighter versions too, and I’ve put them all into one HDR shot, but there’s too much sensor noise in the dark areas to really get good detail on the boats, and they end up being mostly distraction.
Picture taken with Panasonic Lumix TS-4, lens @ 4.9mm (28mm equivalent), f/3.3, 1/320 sec, ISO 100.
We need to print this one. Send me the high-res version…Danke’
