Pic of the Day #609
May 20, 2008
Here’s a closer look at one of the ships in Steveston harbour.
It’s just an old fishing trawler, but I liked the colour. This shot, though, disappoints me in a certain way, as I think it demonstrates that there are situations where I need a lens with a wider focal length than just 17 mm.
Sadly, a good 10-20 mm lens costs several hundred dollars, so I’m thinking it’ll be a while before I am able to expand my arsenal of wide angle lenses.
Edit-wise, I played with the blue saturation a fair bit for this shot; I also edited the shadows and contrast fairly heavily to bring out details a bit more. Most of the rest was done with just the usual few clicks — Lightroom allows the user to put a lot of power into presets.
