Challenge: Free Study 2012-02 (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Nikon D200
Lens: Tokina AF 11-16mm f/2.8 116 AT-X Pro DX for Nikon
Location: Bloubergstrand, Cape Town, South Africa
Date: Feb 28, 2012
Aperture: f/13
ISO: 100
Shutter: 90 seconds
Date Uploaded: Feb 29, 2012

Bloubergstrand, Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa.

Taken at the 12mm end of the lens. Used a 3-stop graduated neutral density filter to hold back exposure in the sky. There was a bit of rain during my photo excursion, so I has plenty of water droplets to remove using Photoshop. In retrospect, I should have forgone with filter and rather used the lens hood to keep the rain out.

RAW conversion in Lightroom, noise reduction, clone out water droplets from front of filter, resize, sharpen save save for web.

Unusual to see the Cape like this. And the Mountain half hidden. Unique scape.

The title is fitting. It has a cold feeling, as I am sure the blues and mist create this effect. I really like the attention to the detail in the foreground, and way off in the distance, you can see the lights of a city/town. It's a very beautiful picture, executed well.

Love the tones, perfect choice to convey the feeling of cold. Great exposure to give the water that misty look and I like the almost hidden city and mountain in the background.
