I want to ride my bike...
Photo Information
I took this photo a few days ago. I wanted to test Pentax OPTIO RZ 18 in x-tremely hard light conditions. This was a “full strong back-lit” with a nice, deep blu tone of the sky (and lake’s colours). I didn’t use filters.(Optio doesn’t accept filters in front of the lens and I didn’t use in-camera effects). Just a -0.7 correction. Hand-held camera on monopod. AE exposure on matrix reading. Biker suddenly appeared and I caught him just in the middle of compo. Minimal PP in CS5(levels, contrast,colour balance,a little bit of more saturation) then I added frame in PICASA (my first time with it). I would like to apply a “star rays eff ect” at the sun using Corel Draw …but I’m not sure of it. Just to satisfy your curiosity I wrote these words. Place: Lake of Bolsena. Close to Viterbo.Italy.

That is really, really good! I love it as it is. Love the light, love the shadows, love the colours, love the compo.
Fantastic.

Thank you Luciano. I didn't pay for rider but if I couldn't have the bike at that moment in that place....I should have paid for it. I had a lot of luck only!(I don't know if my sentence above is written in a correct English...I hope so).
