Tacoma Waterfront [Contest Winner Pool May 2011 ]
Uploaded: May 19, 2011 19:41:39
iso 250, 260mm (Canon 100-400L), f/5.6 (av priority), handheld, Tiffen circular polarizer, 7 shot hdr, processed in photomatix...the high iso was because it was handheld to keep the high ev comp manageable... Taken about 1:30 this afternoon along Ruston Way in Tacoma WA... I'm really happy with the sharpness throughout this image. Because? I do everything right... ;-)

I've never been to Tacoma -- what a very lovely setting! Beautiful, crisp detail in this one, Bob. I cannot believe your source exposures were hand-held -- you must have a very steady hand! #9416374Joy Rector May 20, 2011
