Camera: Nikon D70s
Lens: Nikon AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5G IF-ED

Date: Jan 28, 2006
Aperture: f5.6
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/640

Date Uploaded: Jan 28, 2006

 Shot in my backyard almost straight into the sun, which made the lamp post appear lit. Just a test shot at 300mm before selling my Nikkor 70-300D.

Postprocessing was defogging with unsharp mask, level correction, resize and sharpening with unsharp mask.

I would have loved this image to have be cropped tighter down the right side, blocking out the white light at the top...

I would have cropped out the sky in the left corner, the subject is somewhat uninteresting, but to be honest I shoot pics like this all the time, however once I download them I realize there is no "pizazz" sort of speak. The branches do look cool and would probably be better suited for a different challenge.

Nice idea. I found the branches on this particular subject to be too distracting, though. I know that just the light may have seemed to sparse, but it would have worked better if it was more defined.

This image would be considerably stronger, I think, if the bright, white area at the top left weren't in the picture. It pulls the eye away from the light that is your main subject. Suggestion: crop down to below that area. You'll then have a pano format image that will look quite interesting, IMO.

Very nice image, the glitter on the tree branches make this photo very special

I love the way the light catches the brances. Nice and sharp too.

I love this. the bare branches create a woven sense. This is so pretty to me. 8
