This is the blue-green version of “White Adirondacks,” which I’m posting by request of one of our Bubble friends, AndyReeve. This was taken along the coast of Maine on September 18, 2008 with the Nikon D40x and the 18-135mm Nikon lens. Shutter speed 1/125, aperture f/5.6, exp 0.00, iso 200. It underwent a bit of tweaking in Photoshop which included a new sky and some fun filters.
As with the previous version, I owe our own beautiful and talented Vonne – RavenSoul for her fabulous tweaking suggestions!!!
