Where the Pelicans Fly
Uploaded: June 16, 2005 03:18:29
This was on the Outer Banks in NC. I have a polarizer and 2 stop soft step grad on the lens...all required thorough cleaning afterward from all the sea spray which just couldn't be prevented! I'm surprised the lens was able to focus on anything! The colors in the scene are exactly as shown, magenta in the clouds and all!
