>ENTRY THREAD DSS #9: Dusk or Dawn - Exclusive "Straight Out of the Camera" Challenge

Dgrin Sharp Shooters Challenge #9

Welcome to Round 8 of the Dgrin Sharp Shooters Challenges. This challenge is open to any Dgrin member. It will run from Monday, September 22, 08:00am, EST time (GMT -4) to Monday, October 6, 08:00am, EST time (GMT -4).

The topics ready for your interpretation: Dusk or Dawn

Accurate exposure IN CAMERA saves hours of post processing trying to “fix” an image. Show us what you’ve got in this highly technical area! All images must be posted directly as they were taken (NO POST PROCESSING – NOT A CROP, CONTRAST, BRIGHTNESS ADJUSTMENT – NADA!). This means more shoot time and zip pp time. If you feel weak in this area, don't let it stop you from entering - do some research and get out and shoot, shoot, shoot!

We will be using the honor system here, as there is no solid, sure-fire way to test this. Shoot jpeg and even a raw conversion won't be necessary. So, be honest please, and go have fun!

Full disclosure: in-camera settings: Jpeg (fine), Image size (small, 2144x1424), WB (6250 [for some reason the exif in Smugmug shows "auto"]); Picture Control (vivid), Sharpening (+7), and Saturation (+1). The rest can be seen in the exif data.

Title: City Silhouette

Shoot taken with a Canon XSi, and a Canon 28-300is lens on a tripod.
EV was minus 2.

EXIF

This was taken in JPG mode, transfered to my hard drive, and opened in CS3.
I then resized the shot, then saved it. Nothing other than these steps were done to this shot.
