Sun on Water 2
Uploaded: July 22, 2002 01:31:41
I liked the patterns created by the late afternoon sun and the reflections of buildings and foliage on the surface of the wading pool in the City Hall square here in Toronto. Taken with my Olympus C-3020Z.

No, Robert, the patterns weren't created digitally. I upped the brightness, saturation and contrast and cleaned up some unwanted specks with Photoshop Elements, but I didn't do anything else to the image. I used ISO 100 and F 4.0 with an Exposure Compensation of -.3 when I took the shot. #9935

Gerda,I did not mean to suggest that the photo was created artificially.
I was purely amazed at the patterns and their "unreal" looks.
I am absolutely sure that this is the "real" picture that you have taken, without any weird digital manipulations.
It's probably because I am not a native English speaker and sometimes I might get clumsy with the words...
Cheers,

By the way, there's nothing at all wrong with your use of English.

Nice shot, Gerda. Love the steelness of the blue against the reflected building colors. This does look like a digital abstract, but it makes it all the more wonderful knowing that it's film! Keep up the nice work. #10105

Ditto ouch. My mistake. I guess what I meant was that it looks like a PhotoShop creation--purely digital--at first glance. That this is straight from the camera--any camera--makes it more wonderful. Don't be so hard on yourself. The English language doesn't translate very well in type alone. I'm constantly putting my foot in my mouth, as my meaning is usually lost on the majority of readers... :) #10117Piper Lehman August 06, 2002
Congrats, Gerda! This is one of all-time favorite abstracts from any photog I keep up with. I have it stored away in my favorites folder for inspiration. #10730
