Focal Length is 24mm, no flash and used CWA Metering. A day in the wine country. I spotted this short waterfall just outside the winery. Nothing to write home about, but a nice view. Hope you enjoy and thanks for viewing. Not a bad shot for a kit lens.

Antonio, this is a nice scene, but the lighting is very harsh (mid-dayish I would guess). For mid-day images I have always found open areas will always provide a harsh look to the image, great if you are trying for that, though. I have found getting under the canopy of the forest or such can really make this lighting work to your advantage. Here are two examples, neither of them mine.

I see what you are saying and I totally agree. The glare off of the rocks is what is wrong with the flick. Many thanks for the beautiful examples.

Rgds,

Antonio
