Sailboats on Lake Nockamixon

Photograph info: This photograph was taken last Sunday afternoon at Lake Nockmixon, a ten minute drive from Durham Township. It was a warm, calm, misty day but the sun finally broke through mid-afternoon to illuminate a group of boats out for sailing lessons. Within five minutes of this shot, the sun was shining brightly for the rest of the day.

Although misty air tends to obliterate detail (no matter how sharp your lens) check out the humongo version at 1500 wide x 1000 high for a nice, large view.

Camera settings and post-processing: Shot with the Canon EOS 5D Mark II and the Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L IS lens at 200mm, ISO 400, f/9.0, shutter 1/2000s. Could’ve brought the ISO down here but the light changed so quickly that it became a matter of adjusting camera settings or getting the shot. (WWYD?) Camera JPEG file; basic curves adjustment for contrast.

Thank you for visiting Durham Township!
