Looking at today’s photo, I am sure that no one has any idea of where JD and I went on our vacation. A few of you probably guessed: Disney World. Nope, that’s where the grandchildren went.Machu Picchu is a place that I have wanted to visit ever since I first saw a photo of it in National Geographic when I was about twelve years old—it has taken me 53 years to get there, but the wait was worth it! For the most part, I am disappointed when I finally get to see the great wonders of the world. Machu Picchu was not a disappointment. It was everything that I thought it would be and more.
Over the next few weeks, I will show various photos that I took both at Machu Picchu and the Galapagos Islands where we also went on our vacation.Today’s photo is JD in front of Machu Picchu. Not a lot of fancy camera work here—exposure compensation dialed back one f-stop, flash pointed a little above and to the right of JD’s face, and the sun used as a hair light.
Enjoy.
Camera settings: Nikon D3, Nikon 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6 at 36mm, ISO 900, f/8 and with shutter speeds 1/180th of second.
Post Processing:
Lightroom 3—set white and black points, added clarity and vibrance, and adjusted hue and saturation of various colors.
Photoshop CS5—used nik Color Efex Pro glamour glow filter to add
Nice photo of JD. She is a real looker. Wish that parts of the background had a little more light on it.
