Default A touch of summer.

Hey everyone. Let me know what you think of this shot. This is straight from the camera except for an "auto contrast" in photoshop which I think was needed from the original. It took me a while to warm up to this shot, but it has sunk in and I like it a lot.

Camera: Canon EOS Digital Rebel XSi
Exposure: 0.001 sec (1/1600)

Thank you both!! Ella, I was actually standing (more like squatting) in some boggy sorta peat stuff...not a place I'd spend the whole day in. Besides the substrate in which I stood all was well though.

Thank you for your comments.

Hey Trigger,

Is there a synthetic way to get the CPL look you're talking about? I do not own one of those filters myself, but my birthday is coming...

Yea I know what you mean about summer...after today I should take some time off work and jump on over there.
