This is a blend of many different exposures all taken within a minute or two. Two exposures for wave action, an exposure for the sky, a zoomed in exposure for the moon (as it was hardly noticeable in a 14mm shot), and an exposure for the seagulls with the is0 kicked up to 3200 to freeze them in flight. Piecing them together was a little time consuming. As my tripod was sinking in the sand and being moved around by getting drilled by wave after wave, the exposures didn’t line up perfectly, and Photoshop has less than stellar when it came to attempting to auto-align them. So I had to manually align them with some focused warping. Not hard to do, just boring and time consuming.
So anyways, I just recently released a new post-processing instructional video. It’s packed with some unique techniques and theories about processing you may not find anywhere else. People seem to really be enjoying the videos and have had nothing but great things to say, so I *think* they are helping people… it’s been awesome to see the many before/after shots people have been emailing me. Be sure to check the videos out if you are into that sort of thing. It’s all on my website, as well as more photos, photo tour info, processing instruction via Skype like everyone else is doing, etc, etc. Also I have a fun tour scheduled next week with Mark Metternich. One of the attendees suffered an injury this week and had to cancel, so we have one spot left if you want to have some last minute fun!
