Picturing clouds through a porthole using a compact (without polarizing

filter and without manual focusing) is a challenge.

This image showing stratocumulus requested postprocessing in PS to

restore the sun aspect (much overexposed due to the porthole), reduce

reflections (but I kept some to enhance the overall scene), I had to

improve the clouds appearence and at last to balance levels.

The sea (Mediterranean close to Perpignan, F) visible close to the

horizon has orange glints (picture was taken at 7 am). Therefore I was

unable and didn't want to give a neutral color (white) to clouds in respect

with the light in this early morning.

NB. I thought that my compact could record such scenes without

processing. But it was impossible, first because this compact TZ10,

even using a Leica lens, only create JPEG files, then because the

porthole added many artifacts.

Conclusion : next time I will shoot with a Nikon D7000 in raw format.
