Nothing much to say actually haha! Been real tired lately however i thought i better do at least a new processing to keep myself motivated else i believe i will start slacking off & not post as often as i wish to :) Hope u guys are more energetic out there & have a great day ahead!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

About

The Mossy Rocks at the Glenelg Beach

The Shot

Standard 3 exposure shot (+2..0..-2 EV) with tripod using Sigma DC HSM 10-20mm lens

Photomatix

- Tonemapped generated HDR using detail enhancer option

Photoshop

- Added 1 layer mask effect of 'curves' to increase the contrast
- Added 1 layer mask effect of 'saturation' (yellows & reds) to tone up part of the sky
- Blended in +2 EV exposure shot to enhance the rock section
- Applied slight dodging on the dark area of the rocks
- Used 'unsharp mask' (as always) on the background layer

You

All comments, criticism and tips for improvements are (as always) welcome

Music

Bob Dylan – Under the Red Sky
