I posted an earlier version of this that I cropped into a square format. In developing this roll I had somehow scratched up several negatives (quite brutally on the left side of this one) and it was a labour of love to restore this image to something presentable...sometimes photoshop is my friend...
I bought this big selection of Wella Creative Shapers. These rollers are made for perming, because of the shape of the rods the resulting curls will look much more natural.

This is a crazy compilation of 4 images taken down at the beach just North East of the Bonita Lighthouse. It was taken during a -1.1 ft. tide and full moon. I stacked each image in PS and then changed the transparency of each level so that each subsequent wave was added to the whole image. Everything else in the scene stayed the same... fortunately. This stacking allowed the different layers of the waves on the beach and added to the water over the rocks in the foreground and background. If you look closely in the sky you can see the spotted star trails that were captures. I did not feel like going through and eliminating them! I then went through and added various masks to change the level of brightness to the sand, waves, rocks, and the background lighthouse and sky. I also had the white balance way off, between this and the Moon EVERYTHING was BLUE or shades of blue. When importing each image I adjusted the white balance to 5000K to bring out the warmth of everything. I couldn't believe that all this color was still there but my eyes could NOT see this!
I was down here with fellow photog, Amigo and new photo friend Ian having a blast down here. It is WAY down the hill and was a 10 min+ hike down and even longer going up!!! We were really playing chicken... especially me with the waves coming up on the beach. Fortunately with all the light we could watch these waves and not have any sneak up on us! My last 2 shots had the waves come up and around my camera and tripod. Fortunately I only lost the shot because the sand liquified a bit and the whole thing shifted a bit during the exposure, but...the camera did NOT go over.....what was I thinking leaving it there as the wave came in???
I hope you like this "Image" it was allot of fun taking the pictures to create it and a fun challenge learning as I went along to create it!
