Unforgetable Moments

Uploaded: January 04, 2011

Description

Alone together, couple strolling in the arboretum during a recent snow fall.

Having a little fun here. Actually in the original shot (in the discussion) there was a photographer next to these two as they were on their way to "make" some unforgettable moments on digital (I removed the photographer digitally - photographers are always in the way anyway :-). Added some texture layers since the sky was so bland.

Exif: F Number: 8, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/125 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 200, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 70.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 40D
