Hey everyone - I just decided to get into a photography forum. I like the idea of this section and I want to grow by constructive criticism and/or praise and help others do the same, as time allows. Mods, please let me know if I'm doing something wrong - I read the rules and looked around a bit at other threads, so I hope this fits in well enough.
Here's my first shot for you all to rip into -- good, bad, etc. I have thick skin, so no worries.
I wanted to capture the cramped nature of this little icy cave, and despite it being cramped and cold, still a better alternative to the brutally cold and snow-covered Lake Superior with what appears to be an impending storm on the horizon. I also wanted to capture the astoundingly blue sky in that location... the bluest I've ever seen. How did I do?
D5200
1/640 sec at f/11, ISO 800
30mm on a Nikkor 16-85 f/3.5-5.6
(ISO was a gross mistake on this photo, I forgot to switch it after having shot in a much darker area)
