Description I've been meaning to shoot this location for a while now, but unfortunately the conditions have failed me on a number of occasions. Today was definitely not one of those 'fail' days.

I drove here in the pouring rain cause I knew I'd get some really lovely light once the rain eased. The clouds split apart, scattering throughout the sky, revealing fresh afternoon colour. I was sitting on the break-wall, sheltered under a massive rock seeing though I forgot my umbrella.

Love the motion in the clouds. Makes me feel like the world's speeding past me on a warm, blustery day, laying there on the sand

Excellent as always Drew. I'd personally maybe crop a little from some of the rocks at the bottom of the image, definitely the cut off one at the very bottom at least.

I see what you are saying, but I also feel it works as a nice central anchor in the foreground. Can't be bothered changing this one, thanks mate!

Do you spend a lot of time post processing this one ( what do you do ), since it looks very sharp, HDR with dodged shadows.
Thanks.

DrewHopper In reply to V-1Ds [2010-02-04 02:04:17 +0000 UTC]

No HDR and usually only spend about 10 minutes doing standard tweaks.

What are the standard tricks though ?

DrewHopper In reply to V-1Ds [2010-02-04 22:44:09 +0000 UTC]

No real tricks to be honest. I do my own thing in photoshop, what I feel comfortable doing to my images. I'm sure you have a special technique yourself
