Angela White- "Shimmer"

Aperture-F8, Focal Length-200mm, ISO-400

I chose F8 and ISO 400 to keep detail in the water without blowing out the lighter spots. The histogram on the camera was missing a bit on the brightest tones but no adjustment fixed that; I took the picture with several different settings. The histogram in photoshop filled the whole spectrum.

I like the contrast between the shadow of the pilings and the blue of the water; it creates shimmer.

It might have been interesting if I had gotten even lower, maybe laying on the ground to get the water level view.

This was taken in Tacoma on the beach at the end of 6th Avenue, below Steamers Restaurant.
