Description

I tooks some more artistic liberties with "Les Facades", as you can see also in my gallery. I dug this one out of my inventory from last year's vacation to Europe. I captured the various facades of the buildings that surround the harbor in the village of Honfleur. I cropped the original image, adjusted the lighting, boosted up the H&SL, and applied a watercolor filter. This capture took a white ribbon (3rd place) at the 2011 Rockingham County Fair. Thanks so much for looking at my gallery!

Exif: F Number: 4.9, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/500 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 80, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 22.50 mm, Model: Canon PowerShot S90
