Default My first nature walk...

I wanted to share a couple from my first nature walk with camera in tow.... I think I can get used to this! lol Enjoy

In this shot, I was crossing a bridge & noticed the vivid reflections in the river below, the time was 8:59am. I composed the shot from the bridge wanting the river to guide us through the frame. In PP I hightened the color with Shay's rich color landscape action, sharpened just a bit & viola - this is the finished project.

Camera: Olympus SP550UZ
Exposure: 0.013 sec (1/80)
Aperture: f/8
Focal Length: 4.7 mm
ISO Speed: 200
Exposure Bias: 0/10 EV
Flash: Flash did not fire

Really nicely done on the first one! The little bit of blue sky reflection in the center makes everything around it pop, imo.

The second shot is currently unavailable...but, knowing you, i'm sure it's lovely.
