Diablo Dam

Now that alot of my pbase friends have commented on this image, I have
to admit to totally botching the exposure. I was walking along the top
edge of the dam and dodging busses and cars whizzing along behind
me.... happy to be momentarily out of the rain, beneath a large sucker hole,
and in looking at my exif data, I have to say, what a bonehead exposure! I totally had
to tweak the image pp to get anything except the sky and water to
show up.... D'oh!

Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi
1/4000s f/5.0 at 10.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Yeah, but the end result is good anyhow. Maybe you should just say that you planned it that way. =)

What can I say...it's wonderful. What a place. I don't like dams that much, but it sure makes a good photograph here. Well seen!

You've rescued this photo beautifully! Looks great. I've been starting to shoot in RAW for just that reason. You can tweak everything, even exposure!
