Leda Winebarger - Cape Fear River - Wilmington NC

A new series of postings entitled Photographer’s Choice begins this week with this submission by Leda Winebarger. The family was taking a tour of the battleship USS North Carolina in the late afternoon when Leda spotted this harbor scene. She was attracted by the lighting, the sky color, the river boat and its reflection, with the Wilmington skyline in the background. She took several shots with her Nikon D80 and shares the above with us.
The shutter speed was 1/500 second and an aperture of f/11 was selected. Her lens was a 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 at a wide 24mm. The ISO a low 200.

 In Our Own Backyard – Fall 2011

Betty Rembert - Horsecreek in the Fall

Betty Rembert - Horsecreek in the Fall

The fall season for this year has truly been spectacular in Ashe but now it’s rapidly becoming a memory as the golds and yellows fade into winter’s brown and cover the forest floor once again. But the camera catches the moment in time and replays it whenever we wish to visit the moment again, winding the clock back to 3:42:21 PM on October 15, 2011. When the snows of winter lock us in, we can know that spring will come again soon, followed by warm summer and another fall show of color. We don’t even have to leave the County-no plane tickets, no security checks and very little expense. How fortunate we are to live where others vacation.
Canon 50D with an EF24-105mm f/4L lens set at 24mm, a shutter speed of 1/160 sec, aperture at f/11 and and ISO of 100. All perfect manual settings for this afternoon shot.
