Collection: 2006 - Challenges
Camera: Nikon D200
Lens: Nikon AF Zoom-Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8 VR DG IF-ED
Location: Edgewater Park, Cleveland Ohio
Date: Aug 6, 2006
Aperture: f/2.8
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/640

Date Uploaded: Aug 8, 2006

At this park there were about five different Fun Rental Vehicles available to ride on the paved Park Trails, including a four seater, that eluded me.

Taken at 1:27PM, with sun from the Upper-Left, she might've turned on the track.
1/640, f/2.8, ISO 100
70-200mm Zoom Nikkor, VR - Normal
Focal length - 200mm
Focal length in 35mm Film - 300mm
Metering mode - Pattern
Exposure Program - Shutter Priority
White Balance - Auto

Used the 3872 x 2592 pixel jpg (Fine),
converted to a .psd, convert for-the-web. The original was much brighter and sharply focused on the vehicle.

I should've asked her for a non-candid, posed shot. I also should've done post-proc. on the .raw image.

can't quite relate the title with what's going on ,but other than that very likeable. i love the heat haze in the background; not sure i've ever seen it caught so effectively. it's a visually appealing image, greatly composed, nicely bright and colourful, and has a free spirited feel to it; kinda wish there was a bit more of an indication of movement though as i'd imagine the breeze of motion would enhance the free feeling. still, very good. 7.

Interesting vehicle. Wish it were sharper, and wish the colors popped more on it and the woman. The blue vehicle behind the tree is too distracting.
