Facing The Sun

Uploaded: August 10, 2011

Description

Slight wind so set the camera to a fairly fast shutter speed to freeze the motion. The resulting f/2.5 aperture resulted in a beautiful shallow depth of field. ISO 80 to keep the noise down. Slight tweeks in LR3 and PS to remove some distracting elements.
