Canoe

[JTPhotography]

I love it, could you talk a bit about what went into getting the shot and the post effects?

Not much post processing at all, just a BW conversion and some slight contrast and level adjustments til it looked right. I would have done more post processing if the prints weren't good. In print the light area is toned down quite a bit. It is a very low light shot, one second exposure at f16, tripod set low. I used a graduated neutral density filter to darken the sky purposefully for mood. I spent at least 10 hours shooting this particular canoe before a storm came in and finally beat it and it became submerged. It was difficult to shoot in anything but a very muted lighting situation because of the bright red color of the canoe. The owners finally retrieved it. The color version is equally cool, but I personally like the BW.
