Biking in Georgia

Rode the bike in the northeastern Georgia area this past weekend. I didn't have many opportunities to take photos but I did manage to throw up the pano rig for one shot. I used a polarizer and that was a big mistake as the sky was unevenly polarized. I tried to correct this, and I did make it some better. Lesson learned.

Let's try a pano.

Well... I am trying something new. Photoshop has the abilibility to merge photos. This is about 20 shots merged, with the camera in the vertical position. Hummm.... Needs work. I'll be kicking this around in the future. I did have the polarizer filter on, and was afraid the sky would be unevenly polorazied but it is not. I actually was using the polarizer to kill the glare of the water.

I used a relatively wide angle lens, with the aperature stopped down so that pretty much everything would be in focus. Due to the wide angle focal length, distant objects look really distant, for example the pier (for lack of a better word) on the right (not the one I am standing on). I will be trying again with more normal to mild telephoto focal lengths. Also, if the colors are pretty this fall, I'll try this in October.

All I have is a few more flowers.

Ok, this is it. That's all there is.

Yes, the middle shot was focused on the grass with very shallow depth of field on purpose. I'm not saying that is a good shot. I don't know what I am saying, now that you mention it.
