Picture of the Day - 12/16/2010



Merry Christmas 2010 - This photo was taken earlier this year during a winter weekend. We were staying with good friends Larry and Terrie at the Mt. Elbert Lodge, near Twin Lakes, Colorado. The sky was pretty clear and I stayed up late to capture this scene overlooking some of the other cabins - along with a starry sky. You can see Orion just right of center. For a situation like this, I tripod-mounted the camera and set the exposure to manual (using f8 and adjusting the shutter by trial & error). To emphasize the sky, I used a wide angle (16-35 mm) lens. Adjusted slightly using Lightroom 3 with text added in Photoshop.
