That, and it was really hazy out (the remnants of our famous bay fog), so the original image was very blue and very flat. Whenever I process a photo, I start with Auto Levels and adjust from there. In this case, Auto Levels boosted the brightness and contrast to the point that it looks like I was shooting at a high ISO, when in fact I think it was set to 400. Thanks to all who've commented! If you ever get the chance to see one of the Space Shuttles in person, do it! They're pretty amazing. I'm already planning a trip to LA for next summer to see Endeavour close-up when it goes on display.
