Path to Sleeping Beauty Castle – Chris Marquez
I’ll be honest, I don’t like cropping my photos, but I felt this one may have been better off with it. I’m going to have another go at this scene the next time I’m there. Unfortunately, it’ll be a while.
I’m happy to say that I finally did some bracketing during this trip and took three different exposures of this scene. However, I still ended up editing only one of those shots – the underexposed shot – and came out with what you see above. I bumped up the exposure and brought down the highlights in Adobe Camera Raw, then did the final touches in Nik Color Efex.
This was a 3 second exposure at ƒ/16 using a Sigma 35mm lens on a Nikon D600.
