Shot just off of Malibu Beach. Not
to much in processing. Levels and
some saturation.

3 shot HDR shot at Leo Carrillo State Beach on a beautiful evening. Used Photomatix
with post in Photoshop CS5. Used luminosity/saturation masks to fine tune. Sharpened with high pass filter in the foreground only.
Nikon D300 with Tamron 18-270 lens. Someday I'll acquire a nice wide angle lens which will give me the wide open spaces look.

Shot at the top of Stunt Road in the
Santa Monica Mountains. HDR
processed with Photomatix with
post in Adobe Photoshop CS5.
Used luminosity masks for contrast
and brightness in the mid-tones.
High pass filter used to sharpen the
foreground only.View is looking out towards
Thousand Oaks

Shot at Leo Carrillo State Beach. I
had hoped for a more dramatic sky,
but as soon as things started to look
good a big cloud bank obscured the
sun.
Overall I do like this photo.
Better on Black.

Shot on a nice night at Malibu Beach. Got some somewhat decent clouds to help out. Processing in ACR 6.5 with more corrections in Photoshop CS5. Camera was D300
with Tamron 18-270 lens. this lens is not the best but it's what I got.
Actually I'm so broke I'm glad to have a lens to cover so much range.
Saves me from spending more money. I really want a Nikon 12-24.
maybe some day.
