Eyes On Fire

I had to go back to Needle and reshoot the in the fog. I was just not happy with what I captured before. I tried to shoot a 2 image pano and it just was not doing it for me, will it just would not line up correctly. This time I just shot the Needle with the 18-55 mm. I tried to go with a f/32 but the lens length would not allow so I settled on the f/22. I wanted to get the most detail possible. I also played with the white balance, I toggled between cloudy and tungsten white balance settings. I settled on the tungsten setting because of the bluish colors which lend to a better cold mood.
