Morro Bay

Sharing a pic from our short trip to Morro Bay. While the conditions were overcast, there really wasn't good color contrast in this image. So, I converted it to b&w. I feel it still needs some work but, with a few more adjustments I can make it pop. This is an exposure blend from two images. C&C is appreicated. Thanks!

i really like it.

Very nice, the b+w fits well

Very moody, Julian. I like it.

I'm afraid you haven't done a very good job on blending the 2 images J and it shows on the big rock as a halo. On everything else I'll say its a good image and well thought out.

Thanks for the comments everyone.

Thats amazing post processing. Love it

Thanks for the feedback Dimitri. To be honest, I don't blend my images very often. I feel I'm very dependent on my GNDs and CPLs to capture the image as I saw it. So, I decided to give blending a go. I do see the halo around the rock and I guess I should've turned down the opacity to about 30-40% with my brush.

After playing around with exposure blending, it really isn't that bad. I just need to be precise on which parts to unveil in my layer masks. Thanks!

Could you explain further?

love the pic, and have been to this place several times
hows the unedited color pic?

Luminosity Masks. Easiest way to blend multiple exposures properly.

Looks like a pretty location. Lots of photo ops I am sure. ;]

Thanks! The color pic is really drab because a rain storm was coming in from the right side of the photo. A few minutes after I took this photo, it started to rain.

Thanks Nic. Kind of getting the hang of exposure blending. It's really not that bad. How would you use the luminosity mask to blend the photo? Thanks!
