This is how I shot – Washout
The lighting was not very good the shot was in a wooded area around 10am in the morning.
Taken at The Brandywine Falls in Northfield Ohio
My Camera is the Canon Digital Rebel XTI 400D and I use a Sigma 300mm zoom lens
Also used my Tripod
Used the Shutter Priority Setting
TV = 2 sec
AV = 36
ISO 100
Focal Length 115 mm
Used the Mirror Lockup setting
Used the Noise Reduction setting
Processing was adjusted the shadows and highlights by darkening the highlights and lightening the shadows
Also did some minimal saturation to the entire photo
A big thank you to Andrew Bosman
For explaining the mirror lockup feature to me. I noticed he used it on a few of his shots and didn’t even realize to use it.
Also a huge Thank You to him for becoming a teammate of mine in Moderating the Waterfall Group!
