September Chouet

September Chouet by PhotoToasty.
** You can purchase a print of this photo at www.redbubble.com/people/phototoasty/art/2288165-3-rocks

I was a bit late to get in position before the sunset faded... rushing over wet rocks with camera mounted on tripod isn't to be recommended! The waves were crashing and the sea spray was a risk to the lens!

This is a blend of 3exp in Photomatix. -2.33 EV(1.6 Sec), -0.33EV(6 Sec), + 1.67EV (25sec) @100 ISO, Canon 350D. The sea was very rough so the water blur has turned out well in the blend.

the stylized post-processing is a personal taste kinda thing. I think it may be a tad overdone - the colours, but I like the shot very much still.
