Surfers : In EXPLORE August 29, 2015

Lovely sunset at the Scripps Pier in La Jolla! Everything was surreal about this evening! I was at a mall around 4.30pm and saw the skies taking great shapes. Streaks of clouds emanating from the west. I knew this was going to be a spectacular evening and left everything and drove back home to get my gear and was at the beach by 5.30pm.

A dynamics of yellow, pink, blue, purple and magenta, all melted together was slowly injected into the skies above and in the reflections on the wet sand below. It all danced and I was just clicking!

For a few minutes I saw a great solar funnel with high beams emanating from the setting sun! I took a few shots and this one came out great with rays reaching as long as the other side of the frame!

I processed it to the minimum with no HDR etc in LR6. The usual stuff like highlight, shadows and vibrancy. In fact there wasn't a need to do much anyways! Hope you like it!
