Soaring High

"Soaring High"
Taken on my trip back from Italy last summer. It was a gorgeous summer day, and when I looked out the window, it was pretty hard not to try to capture it.

Taken with: SD500
Auto Mode, no flash.
A little sharpening and slight straightening (climbing upwards in the plane made it slanty).

Sunset

This was taken with an S2 in P-mode, TV- 1/1000, AV - 4.5, Evaluative metering, ISO 50 and the surprising part I discovered when looking up the EXIF data was that my white balance was set to daylight. The only PP work I did was the removal of an airplane cloud trail.

Fire in the Sky

Title: Fire in the Sky
Camera: Canon S2IS

Believe it or not, there was no postprocessing on the color. What a spectacular sunset it was to witness.

Subject: Solomons Island Bridge, MD
Camera: S2IS
Settings: It was taken in July 06, so I can't remember

I wanted to get a sunset picture of the bridge that links Solomons Island to Lexington MD, just before dinner. It was a pretty opportunistic photo - jumped out of car, turned on camera and shot away! No enhancement done. Let me know what you think.
