Went to Coral Cove over the weekend despite of the fact that the forecast called for "no clouds". Well, it ended up just like that, but I got an idea as I was shooting. I decided to work these shots, or at least some, in a sort of "pastel" moods or soft light colors. You get that as a result of a combination of exposure, time at which you take the photo and working certain items in post production that take away the intense drama that a scene like this can often times produce. Items such as contrast, lights and highlights play a very important role in post and of course pulling back on the shadows a little. Well, I'm not sure if this will work all the way, but I liked the feeling it gave me when I was done. I processed a couple more using the same principles, I will be posting them this week.
Hope everyone has had a great weekend.

This is a new place that Greg Anderson showed me. It is located in Stuart, Fl. What a place, similar to Blowing Rocks/Coral Cove except larger.
This day was perfect as the clouds were great and tidal wave conditions were also ideal. I definitely plan to return to this place and continue exploring as there is much more.
It can be a mysterious place and and it is also very historical.
The rocks here can be about 7 or 8 feet and there are miles of them. Love Florida!!!.
This is a single file and I used a Singh Ray Polarizer and a 3 stop reverse GND filter.
Hope everyone is doing great and enjoying the Christmas season.

Made a quick run to The Everglades this morning and found this beautiful warm sunrise light at Nine Mile Pond. I have done this compo before, however, the light was so good this morning that I thought to try and improve the one I had done before. Seems to me this one has better side lighting and I really like the warm hue to it, especially the way it reflects on the grass in the foreground.
Hope you all are having a great weekend.
As always, thanks for stopping by and looking, and also thanks for your comments and critiques.
