Julian - D300 with 17-35 mm f2.8 zoom at 17 mm.  ISO 400 (my standard  
for boating shots).  Auto White Balance.  Nikon NEF file converted to  
DNG on import into Lightroom 2.2.  Slight exposure and black level  
adjustments to fill the histogram, slight contrast increase using  
curves, and then I used the blue level slider to darken the sky and  
create that Kodachrome look.

Regards,

Dick
