Photograph Information Photographer's Comments
Challenge: Night Shot IV (Basic Editing)
Camera: Canon PowerShot S2 IS
Location: Ecola State Park
Date: Apr 8, 2007
Aperture: F8
ISO: 100
Shutter: 15 sec
Galleries: Landscape, Nature
Date Uploaded: Apr 8, 2007

 Photo was taken from Ecola State Park, on the bluffs overlooking the Pacific, looking south to the lights of Cannon Beach, Oregon; at 6AM, on Sunday, April 8th. Our community Easter Sunrise service began at this very location just 30 minutes after this photo was taken. Minor amount of post processing included small shift in levels, a small adjustment on brightness/contrast and a small boost of the blues. I also ran this photo through the neat image car wash. The odd star-like quality of the moon came from the 15 second exposure. I have no clue how to shoot the moon, not even in the game of hearts!

This is wonderfully done. I loke the light (moon) behind the clouds and the pale blue color. Looks so cold.
