Description


---
A shot taken during the Pearl Harbor Day anniversary ceremony on the Battleship New Jersey on December 5, 2012.
----
This is a DD entry. On a cropped version of this image: Used two different presets on separate layers in Nik Silver Efex 2 Pro, modified each of them, and then blended them in CS5. When I was happy with the outcome, I shared it with a close friend who said, "But the man in the suit is wearing a "hat!" I had not noticed. YIKES! It was one of the bollards in the water, to which the ship was tied. So I had more work to do to clean that up. And then I discovered a filter called "Dark Contrast" in Nik Color Effex 4 and used a small amount to finish things off.

Exif: F Number: 5.6, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/640 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 250, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 33.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 7D

The original cropped version of the image, and the interim version--where I thought I was finished. #1431996
