    Outstanding!! Don’t know what else there is to say on this one. Recent? Shutter speed?

    Nice Work!!

  • Adam Bykowski replied

    I’m at work now so I can’t look up the shutter speed or other pertinent info. I think I took this in either 2007 or 2008. I think I was at Fullerton Ave and walked south or maybe Montrose. Jesus my memory is total crap. Most likely uesd ISO 50 and a 4 stop reverse neutral density filter. That filter produces more red in the top half and a slivery, blue in the bottom half. Kind of a neat effect.

  • Adam Bykowski replied

    OK I looked up the EXIF data. Shutter speed 1.3 seconds, Aperture: f22, ISO speed 100, Focal length 24mm, White Balance Mode: Shade. Date photo taken: April 27, 2007.

    Apt title and lovely image.

  • Adam Bykowski replied

    Thanks John. You know it’s funny. I was trying to type in “Subtle Waves” as my title yesterday, but typed things in a hurry because my dog was barking at me for me to walk him. I could have swore I typed in the words “Subtle Waves” and I know I typed in a description and keywords, but none of it showed up. I typed the descrtiption and keywords today. Since you like the title, I left it alone.

    OMG ADAM! This is just gorgeous. Excellent title and the color Wow. Superb.

  • Adam Bykowski replied

    You are amazingly astute and possibly a genius in your assessment here. LOL I don’t remember ever getting an Oh My God. That’s a good compliment. You just may have beat out Carlie’s WOW. Thanks

    Gorgeous as only early sunrise over lake or ocean could be. I like darkness in most frame while vivid reds of sunrise contrasts with everything best possible way.

  • Adam Bykowski replied

    Now I see what you mean :)

    Lovely deep colours penetrating the darkness and the reflections of them in the sheen of water is nice.

  • Adam Bykowski replied

    Even though you live on the other side of the pond, it is almost as if your lake images and mine are from the same city. Thanks for the compliment. Always appreciated.
