Table Mountain

Took a drive through to Cape Town today and just had to get a picture of The Mountain!
For the camera settings challenge (csc-35) - get off Auto. Used the Sunny 16 Rule. Struggled a bit with exposure, maybe the fact that I had a polarising filter on made a difference.

You so lucky...as I always say...repeat repeat repeat...to live in CT and be able to see such beautiful sights.

@sebella This is a view I don't get to see very often either! Was a tad heart-sore when taking this as it was taken near Table View beach and brought back many memories of Bon!

[Penny Price]

[Alice Burghart]

fantastic. fav.

[Nia]

The always stunning view. I so miss it. Well done on the sunny 16, I could not get a good exposure with 100 1/100 - must be too darn sunny here!

[Sally Ings]

@sianipops Thanks Nia, I also struggled with exposure, was too dark! I have boosted the brightness here slightly. I think one of my problems was that I had a polarising filter attached. This is definitely a camera setting that I will continue to play around with!

[Arefin]

this is beautiful! amazing view and love the composition! fav

[Pitypang]

So beautiful !

[Nia]

I'm sure the polarizer affected your exposure but it also gave you that beautiful tones in the ocean and sky.

[Paula W]
