Bookmark - Sunset Key Island

Captured in Key West while on a cruise excursion, this photo features the island of Sunset Key from across the water at Mallory Square.  No roads or bridges to this place, which no doubt increases its exclusivity.

This picture also is part of a more disappointing aspect of my wannabe photographer's journey.  I took the trouble of hauling a tripod up the stairs of this observation deck, but couldn't set it up because of the throng of tourists competing for what little space there was.  So I settled for using the radiulna variety on a rail and very carefully snapped a three-shot panorama.  After arriving home and working with it in post-capture, however, found that my setting of "P" was a mistake, as the exposure was noticeably different in the middle photo, which featured more of the dark trees on the island.  Well, "there goes another one" as they say, but in future trips always used manual and bracketed to capture panoramas.
