thank you all for the kind words!!! i'm glad you like it!!! eb

looks great, Eric! i particularly like the reflection of the clouds!!!

very smoooooooooooth! like how you see the clouds in the water & symmetry of the compo

thank you, i appreciate the compliments! i just wish i was better at day shots, maybe then i could have gotten some seperation in the clouds above, instead of just on the water.. thanks again!!! EB

Oh yes!! I didn't notice this!! This is really strange! Where did the cloud go??? How come we can see it in the water and not in the sky??? Now this is the weirdest thing! O_o

cause i have no clue what i'm doing with day shooting. just as the day light burns my eyes, i guess it also hurts my cams eye as well....lol!!!

LMAO!!!! U silly man!!! ;)

if i were to guess, seeing the clouds in the water is like using a polarizing filter on your cam (sunglasses :)

to be honest, i can't remember if i had my skylight filter on or not. i don't think i did but there's a good chance. a polarizing filter is on my shopping list, well when i get some cash that is... is that what i need to get the skys to turn out well, without getting burnt like above? i couldn't find a happy medium, when i underexposed it brought out the sky but then all the details in the darker areas were gone.

from the resource center, Michelle's article on Polarizing Filters :] you can also expose a photo for the sky & one for the land & combine the 2 in PS :] you probably already do this too- Bracketing: A method of ensuring that the best exposure has been made. After metering the scene and making an exposure based on that information, subsequent exposures are made to slightly increase, and decrease the amount of exposure. This is accomplished by by either adjusting the shutter speed, or the aperture opening (f-stop). The preferred method is to adjust the shutter speed, so that the Depth of Field is not affected. -from the Resource Center Dictionary

Xlent reflection and photo!!!

thank you cyn and tesla! i've not played with metering yet, though i suppose i should. if the damn rain ever stops i'll try it tonight if not tomorrow. thanks again, i appreciate the tips!!! eb

A fine Reflective Shot....good to see You in the Daylight :]

thank you Tedz i appreciate it!!! sometimes i venture out into the light..lol!

nice shot, you have captured the detail in the trees superbly, and of course the reflections are great, fanastic entry. Better get my skates on and find something before the end of the month comes round, :)

thank you Davidy! i too was pretty happy with the detail in the trees, and the reflection was just a bonus i guess. thanks again, i appreciate it!!!
