seeing the world through new eyes…

Today’s Spotlight Photograph is “Sunrise Over Mirror Lake”. This photograph was created early on a chilly, late winter/early spring morning in Lake Placid New York. Back then I was shooting with a Nikon D100. While I really liked this camera, it did exhibit quite a bit of noise in the shadow areas of images. Because of that tendency, I had trouble creating a clean image of the scene below. Now, several years later, I’m shooting with a NIkon D700 and D300 and don’t need to worry all that much about noisy images.

Recently, with image processing software advancing to their current capabilities, I began to wonder if I could do anything with some of my old D100 images that I had previously written off. Below is one of my old D100 images that I ran through Adobe Lighroom 3 Beta and Adobe Photoshop CS4 last week-end. I think the results turned out pretty good.
