What adifferance half an hour makes . . .

Sutton Warrior · June 22, 2009

Grabbed a few hours bass fishing on the boat Sunday evening, tides worked in perfectly with the British Grand Prix on TV and me having a lay in in the morning The fishing was great, two of us, in 3 hours, boated around 20 bass, stop counting at half a dozen each They ranged from sprat size to a nice 40cm fish, all went back to fight another day, great fishing on super light tackle . . . then to be rewarded with this sunset:

Early, dark and moody . . .

Half an hour later . . .

My favourite . . . just . . .

These are as the camera saw them, I did have to adjust the EV compensation, +1 to +1.3, Straight in to the sun, center weighted metering did its job, I have not use Matrix metering for ages, dont even think about it anymore . . . The only computer adjustments are 800 pixels and a hint of sharpen. The lens is Nikons 18-200VR all things to all men super zoom, It really does do a 'job' by my simple standards . . . . . . and those camera menu adjustments, again by my standards are spot on Nikon D80: a very expensive 'point and shoot' . . .
