Heaven's Gates

Description

I am not use to shooting in the moment, but I tried my best. How clumsy I must have looked! Surprised I did'nt drop my camera over the bridge! Tend to lose focus - no pun intended - when I am faced with an unpredictable, quick yet rare moment.

All of a sudden, the sun filtered throught the clouds unexpectedly. I got about 3 shots off. No, I did'nt have continuous mode and automatic bracketing activated! Crap! But still, I still have enough in the picture to reveal those heavenly gates.

Exif: F Number: 13, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/4 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 100, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 18.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS REBEL T1i
