Very nice photo, I have attempted similar images before without much success. You have given me the ambition to try it again!
Thanks! #281925

Tony, all of your gallery images are fantastic! To achieve this effect, by shooting wide open, what aperture did you use - 2.8 or more open than that? Also what shutter speed were you using and where was the sun while you were taking this picture? Did you use a certain type of filter? I have some specular highlights in my shots using 2.8 but nothing as spectacular as this - I'm wondering where the biggest difference lies, technically? (other than the fact that you are a great photographer....) #424352
