[QUOTE="STM, post: 396508, member: 12827"] Here is the original in color and I did not manipulate the color or saturation at all, it really was that vivid that late in the afternoon. Digital sensors are a little blue insensitive compared to film so they tend to underexpose deep blue skies anyway. This is getting into that "magic light" bracket, an hour after sunrise and an hour before sunset. I determined the exposure using my Pentax 1 spot meter and underexposed by a half of a stop to compensate for difference in D700 ISO and film ASA . Not many would people consider a lens as long as 300mm to be a good landscape lens, but this one sure is when you want to compress perspective!
