Photography : Photo Of The Week : #14 04.22.2001
 


This photo was taken on Lake Titicaca near Puno, Peru.  The island in the photo is made entirely from reeds that are native to the lake.  The island literally floats on the lake, with nothing but an anchor to maintain its location.  More information is available in the related Photo Album.

Minimal editing has been done to this photo.  I cropped the image, and then used Photoshop's curves feature to make some small adjustments in exposure.  I finished with a small amount of sharpening.  It's not the best photo I've ever taken, but at least the subject makes it noteworthy.  Look for some much better shots in the coming weeks, as I add the remainder of my photos I took while Peru last November.
