For some reason, I'm strangely drawn to photos with the sun in frame, and ofttimes dramatically underexposed. I dunno why, I just dig it. I don't linger too long, because I don't want t over heat my sensor. But man I think it's cool. It almost looks like moonlight reflected on the waters.
I remember way back in high school, reading that underexposing a couple of stops could increase the drama of sunset photos. So of course, on my backpacking trip, I took the concept to extreme. Back in the days of Ektachrome slide film...
Anyway, this was taken about 1/2 way between Melvin Price Lock and Dam and the Alton Bridge. From the bike trail along the levee. A little more than an hour before sunset. I posted it to 365project, and 1 person presumed it was a moon photo (he-he-he!).
