Light and Shadow

I took this shot today for an online photo assignment to illustrate “light and shadow.”  I figured that early afternoon would be the perfect time to get this shot as the sun would be in the western sky and would create some dramatic shadows from the inside of the “Snake Bridge” here in Tucson.  For the most part I am pretty happy with the results, but something odd happened.

Take a look at the “beams” on the left side that is the steel mesh frame.  The green foliage looks very over saturated right at the edges of the beams.  I suspect that it has something to do with the sharpening I did in Photoshop.  It only appears, obviously anyway, in smaller versions of the image, such as this one.  I have no doubt that I could fix it in Photoshop, but that is actually more effort than I am willing to spend on this image. :-)

Boredom, a camera and a ceiling fan

Have you ever wondered what happens when you are bored, staring at your ceiling, and there is a Nikon D200 sitting next to you?  This is what happens!!!!!
