Brean down sunset

    My first real HDR.
    The others have been reprocessed RAWs, but this is 3 exposures a stop apart.
    The scene is from Weston-super-Mare beach, at the Uphill end looking towards Brean Down and the island of Steepholme in the distance.

      Rock! That is a very nice photo. I'm usually not too keen on HDR mainpulation, but this image looks awesome. I'd agree that this image was like a shooting star if I knew what that meant...

      Many HDR's are overdone, this isn't great shot and work.

      Excellent sky seems to bring a dead earth scarred by human traffic to life.

      one of a photo i like very well in your gallerie.
      i would cut the floor about one inch which focus the eyes more on the sky.
      so it seems a bit 1/2- 1/2, half sky and half floor.
      i think it is better to focus either on sky or on floor, depands on which is more interesting.

    26. Kate Kirkby (58 months ago | reply)

      Woah, this is surreal. I can't make my mind up about HDR but when used like this it is awesome! It makes it a completely different artform. I think what i a trying to say is that i don't like it when used too subtly. I love it!

    27. viettalibre (58 months ago | reply)

      yes, surreal. but compossition is real , real and great.

    28. Tim Blessed (58 months ago | reply)

      Wow Brean Down, I went camping there as a boy. Brings back good memories. Great HDR work Roger, the hues and tones in this shot are wonderful.

    29. James Trickey (56 months ago | reply)

      You make it look incredibly beautiful - wow!

    30. sunny256 (55 months ago | reply)

      Fantastic colours and composition. I like the overall grey look by the combination of the detailed ground and wonderful cloud formations. Perfect exposure.
