Marsh Grass Sky

The arch of the grasses was too tempting not to try to catch against the sky. This is a moderate macro shot, taken low down using the flip out LCD and lots of Program Shift for depth of field.

Canon SX20IS at 28mm equivalent. F5.6 @ 1/400th @ ISO 80. Programmed auto with Exposure Lock and Program Shift.

In Lightroom, recovery for the sky. A touch of Fill Light and Blackpoint to the right just slightly. Added Clarity and just a bit of Vibrance. Sharpen landscapes preset.

From Around Home 2010.

    Steve,

    Really enjoy your “pics of the day”, and try to catch them all!

    Can you tell me what you mean by “program shift”? I’d really appreciate itT

    Thanks very much!

    Thanks Mark. Here is an extended explanation of Program Shift from my Point and Shoot Landscape blog. http://psland.lightshedder.com/2008/03/21/in-praise-of-program-shift/
