Lake Akmena Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

Evening view of sky over Lake Akmena, west of Trakai.
Photo taken at 20:50 during hot air balloon ride about 40 meters above surface of the lake.
Camera settings: 17 mm zoom, AV mode, ISO-200, -0.3EV exposure compensation.
I have done two separate conversions from the Raw image - one to have sky properly exposed (and increased saturation) another to have trees and water surface properly exposed. Later two images were merged into one.
