This was shot behind my house, about 30
minutes before sunset, after a rainstorm. I used a Sony DSC F717 in manual
mode, 1/250 second, F8.0, 100ISO. This was about 1 stop less than the camera
would have done automatically. After shooting, it was loaded into Photoshop,
and saturation was boosted quite a bit. Then, I attempted to reduce noise with
the "despeckle" filter, with insufficient result. So I applied some gaussian
blur to cut down on the noise. The result isn't spectacular, but I was pleased
to get anything at all at this point. Photo tips would be appreciated.
