Balancing Act
Uploaded: November 14, 2010
While on the Swiss Jewel I and a few others stayed on board for a ride down the Main Canal while most went ashore for a tour. I was taught this balancing act by the bar tender while underway. I was looking for something unique to shoot other than Castles and Romantic Villages
and so here we are. Two forks balanced on a toothpick converted in CS3 and balanced the tones and zones.
Exif: F Number: 13, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/250 seconds, Flash: did not fire., ISO: 6400, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 28.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS-1D Mark IV
