Description My digital camera is technically a piece of shit. I can't control f-stop, shutterspeed, none of that.
BUT, I have discovered that there are a few settings that I can control to get "creative".

Last month, it was exposure compensation.

This month, white balance settings.
For this photo, I set the white balance to tungsten.

A top shelf whiskey right here. The best blue work since Eiffel 65.

Sucks about your camera though, but if the results are as good as this that's good.

Boom! Nice to see you in the DTFs... and deservedly so!

Great positioning of the sun behind the tree but my favourite is the ice? in the trees sparkling like little drops of light. Wonderful!

bookdiva [2003-01-07 21:55:12 +0000 UTC]

I love the contrasts of tones and lines and play of light and shadow. The blueness of the trees gives this a very magical feel, like a fairy tale. Very well done!!

heh, Coolpix 775? That's what I have and I know your pain.

Great work with this. The colors, of course, make this interesting...but even without the bright blue this is an interesting photo. Good solid composition and placement of key elements (sun/tree.)

I know how it sucks not being able to mess with the settings on a digital camera, yet I too was able to get some great shots.

I applaud you.

How in the hell am I supposed to compete with this!? Hehe.. not that its a competition, but seriously this is by far one of my favorite shots that you have ever done... the colors blend perfectly with the mood, so solemn... and the shadow from the large tree in the center is right over you, the one taking the picture, like you yourself are in the dark. Man what an awesome shot!
