Challenge: Night Shot II (Advanced Editing II)
Camera: Canon PowerShot G5
Location: Coos Bay Boardwalk
Date: Oct 17, 2004
Aperture: F/3.2
ISO: 50
Shutter: 2.5 secs
Galleries: Travel, Water
Date Uploaded: Oct 17, 2004

 Taken on/from the Coos Bay Boardwalk. I had a really, really hard time choosing which picture of the lot to enter - I hope I chose the right one. I'm not sure how people will react to the blurry flags, but it's a night shot, so the shutter speed wasn't quick enough to avoid blurring them.

Expecting this to be clobbered because the sky's not pitch black. We'll see.

Editing: Resized, curves, hue/saturation, Neat Image, sharpening, border, cloned out the edge of another boat on the far left.. it was a bit distracting. I can't remember if this was one that I rotated and cropped or not..

I really like this shot. Beautiful glow in the sky highlighting the cloud formation. I like the flags, the water reflection and the boardwalk. Great exposure!

The seat on the right is a little cut off and there seems to be a slight tilt to the left. Minor distractions, but something to look out for next time.

Well done and good luck!

somehow the picture doesnt seem to be in full focus. its a little disturbing because theres very little movement, but just enough to notice it... composition and perspective is very good though. good photographers eye. the fact that you can see the bottom of the water adds a nice touch.

Good job, maybe a little closer crop on the right, just to remove the bench

Nice balancing of the light in the sky, on the boats and on the pier!

Beautiful shot, too bad the wind created a flutter in the flags that blurred them.
