Morning Glow
Early morning fog gave these backlit trees a really nice glow.

Taken on the hike at the Beaver Lake Dam Site Park.

Nikon D3, F11, 1/60, ISO 900

There seems to be a slight yellow cast here, Ed, but overall, really nice. This is one of my favorite areas to shoot when I don't feel like driving all the way over to the Buffalo and beyond. It frequently has some nice fog to work with, as you probably know.

Make sure you watch out for Louie and Roscoe - two of my cats I buried up the hill behind the bench overlooking the lake... :smile:

Hey Ed, what are you doing shooting with your snapshot camera?

Tim,

I've taken to scouting and hiking new areas around with my "Point and Shoot" digital camera. :wink: I'm much more inclined to hike further and higher when I'm not lugging 40 pounds of MF glass, Gitzo tripod, RRS head, digital back, etc. If I find an interesting view I'll haul the big gun in when I think the light/weather will be right. Besides, 12MP is ok for 720px images.

As to the tint, that is supposed to be warmer, not yellow. Actually I like to play around with Miranda's velvia vision filter or set my white balance to cloudy to warm things up when things are a little flat.

The yellow is too harsh (for me). The composition is very nice. Did you notice the little deer in the woods? Just kidding.
