POTD 118 of 365

Took a few shots of a bright blue sky with fluffy white clouds this evening with the 620. They were shot on Tri-X 400, through a red filter, spot-metered on a cloud and bumped to +2 EV (to move the clouds into Zone 3), and, just for fun, I held a circular polarizer in front of the lens (because it's too big to thread on) to have a darkening effect on the sky.

I have four more shots left on the roll - I can't wait to see what these new ones look like.

Very little done in post to this shot - a quick, very minimal curves adjustment (after converting to RGB) and a light output sharpening was all it took.

I may have to get a CPL that fits my nifty fifty.
