Encinitas Ca

Not a typical day in sunny San Diego. It was actually a nice change though, if you can believe that. This is Moonlight Beach.

This is just jawdropping. . .

I love that foreground water, and those clouds?! Holy smokes.

Nice shot Skippy.

Incredible pic, I go to moonlight beach on occasion and have seen that spot. Care to elaborate on your post processing technique for this pic?

Great shot. The foreground seems a TINY bit dark on my monitor.. no worries though, still a stunner! What lens and what PP was done?

Nice job on the clouds...

This was shot with my new EF-S 17-55 2.8 IS, seems like a fantastic lens so far.

I knew what I wanted when I shot this one, I wanted those clouds! So I shot it in RAW, then when I got home, I did one conversion for the clouds, then one conversion for the foreground, then blended the two shots together in CS2. I set the darker exposure pic on top of the lighter exposure pic, then used a layer mask to bring back the highlights of the foreground sand and water.
I know what you mean about the water, but it actually was that dark in person. I like how the bubbles kinda show you that it's not just under exposed.

Thanks for the comments!

Errmm.. that picture has changed? The foreground suddenly seems so much darker than when I first saw it... anyone else?
