Challenge: Free Study 2007-08 (Expert Editing)
Camera: Canon EOS-300D Rebel
Lens: Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6
Location: Inner Harbor, Baltimore, MD
Date: Aug 17, 2007
Aperture: f3.5
ISO: 800
Shutter: 1/4
Galleries: Seascapes, Military
Date Uploaded: Aug 22, 2007

 Taken shortly after sunset at Baltimore's Inner Harbor. The ship on the left is the USS Constellation, originally built in 1854. The ship on the right is a training frigate from the Brazilian Navy, called, appropriately enough, the Brasil, built in 1983.

I was amazed when I looked at the EXIF data and discovered this was 1/4 second exposure. It was at 18mm, f3.5 and ISO 800, but it was also HANDHELD. Pretty sharp for a handheld quarter-second exposure, if I do say so myself.

Processing:
crop
clone out part of a building
shadow/highlight
levels
contrast
saturation
Noise Ninja
resize
USM
more shadow/highlight
used levels to brighten up the whites on the Constellation

Don´t really dig the halo that came from the post processing but other than that I like the colors.

Reminds me of Portsmouth Harbour. The colours and viewpoint are pleasant enough.

Very nicely done and I especially like the contrasting subjects. It would have been way cool to get a shot of them shooting at each other.
