Afternoon Stroll



Camera: Nikon D200
Lens: Nikon 28-105
f/14 at 1/250
ISO 100

After taking the shot of the tree pictured in the previous post, I turned my eyes away from the sun and noticed this scene. There were lots of people out for a walk along the spit that day and when I positioned myself appropriately the warm golden sun reflected off of this Plexiglas structure.

If I walked just a few feet closer, the reflection disappeared. Without the reflection, the surface of the structure just appeared old, scratched up, and foggy. It was not striking in any way. But, with the reflection I felt I had something of interest.

If I remember correctly, I metered off the blue sky and chose to underexpose it by one stop to make it a nice rich blue. Then I waited for someone to walk by.
