Description

f5.6, 1/250th sec., ISO 400, iTTL balanced fill flash. Taken at Santee Lakes 2 August 2008. The water was very calm, white balance used was cloudy. I used an angle that made the water look like a kind of steel because of the overcast, early morning sky.

Exif: F Number: 5.6, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/250 seconds, Flash: fired, compulsory flash mode, return light detected, ISO: 400, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 200.00 mm, Model: NIKON D300
