Breakaway I

The first of two shots I took of this somewhat decrepit breakwater on a foggy winter morning in Newport, Rhode Island. There are many photography opportunities along this scenic stretch of Ocean Drive; this is one I've been thinking of for a while, and was waiting for the right conditions (and some free time). After making some basic adjustments in Lightroom I switched over to DxO FilmPack for inspiration. The "Cyanotope" preset really appealed to me, with only a minor change to the default filter setting from blue to pink and some contrast adjustments. Beyond that I added a little texture and subtle vignetting with Color Efex Pro via the Tonal Contrast and Darken / Lighten Center filters, which I almost always use.

 

Filters: landscape polarizer, 2-stop hard-edge GND, 10-stop ND
