This is a shot I found the 2nd day I owned by XTI. Needless to say, I'm still learning the camera. Can anyone give me some ideas? Looks like I may need to slow down the ISO.
lens=16-35mm f2.8; settings 1/320; f3.5.

I had the ISO set at 400. Probably needed to be down about 100. EricL [SIZE=2]

I have often said that you can always take a better picture in Alaska but you can't take a bad picture in Alaska!! EricL [SIZE=2]

Harold, this mountain is Byron Peak located near Portage, Alaska. It is a 4400ft peak and part of the Chugach Range. I was standing at about 20ft above sea level when I took the picture. Just 15 minutes before, the entire valley was completely encased in a thick fog bank. EricL [SIZE=2]

I has holding my hands over the edges and it looks like it would give it more impact by focusing on the key elements of the tree trunks and mountain peak.

Is this what you had in mind, John? Another poster mentioned the pale blue sky so I took a little out. I like it! Thank you very much! EricL [SIZE=2]
