Pic of the Day #601
tagged BC Ferries, EOS 350D, Germany, ISO and noise reduction
BC Ferries apparently has a new class of boat that they have purchased from a company in Germany. Grace and I got a first-hand look at one of the new ships — the Coastal Renaissance.
This is the front viewport of the ship on its top passenger deck (the open one):

Yeah, not much to see — it would have been better had the sky not been so…you know…gray. Still, I do like the lines and reflection visible in this picture, and even the silvery parts of the gray have their appeal. This was intended to be a bit of an odd shot, and it more or less delivered in that regard.
Edit-wise, it was pretty easy to process this picture; the calibration/Punch preset took care of most of the editing for me, and a bit of noise reduction (I don’t know why, but the EOS 350D always seems to have more noise — above what one would expect for a given ISO setting — in the sky and clouds than in the rest of the image; have other users of other camera systems noticed this, or am I imagining things?) rounded things out. I also tweaked the shadows a bit, in an effort to make the image a bit more contrasty.
