Started out a lovely day here, so I decided to go out with a camera. Unfortunately by the time I roused myself the sun had decided we had had enough for a January day!
I went down to the Esplanade, because all week there had been a few ships anchored out in the Forth. Today there was two. Talk about the only luck being bad luck. I did manage to get some shots, and met a group of lovely lady cyclists, who asked me to take their picture with one lady's iphone.
So here is a challenge. Below is a JPEG image, straight from the camera and I would like to see what the members can do with it. Meanwhile I will see what the raw image produces. I have uploaded as big an image as I can.
Nikon D80, 70-300mm lens, 1/125 sec. f8, ISO 100, Manual mode, 70mm lens equivalent.
I have difficulty seeing the light meter through the viewfinder, so usually take a test shot and adjust to the histogram, hence the gross overexposure.

Ask yourself, "What's most important for the final image?".
