Challenge: Free Study 2009-12 (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Canon EOS-350D Rebel XT
Lens: Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC HSM for Canon
Location: Peace Valley Park
Date: Dec 20, 2009
Aperture: 18
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/500
Date Uploaded: Dec 22, 2009

This was shot on December 20, one day before the Winter Solstice. My objective was to shoot a scene similar to Solar Ice which was taken last March 3rd, a square root day. Icy temperatures and a blizzard snowstorm on the 19th created a perfect environment for this special image just in time for the Winter Solstice of 2009.

This image has some nice elements. However for me, it just does not offer enough wow or excitement. Perhaps a lower camera angle would create another push or a push of colours. Though I have to say I am happy the sun is not center frame... but its close.

Winter at its best. This has that simple quiet feel to it with the flare from the sun. Nice one.

Very nice light, good exposure. Lots of sharpening and noise reduction artefacts as well as bandimg in the sky take away from the beautiful scenery
