HDR and Desaturate
Trying out something new, HDR from a single raw files then, cut out the sky in photoshop and did a couple of layer of work (on the sky itself) and Desaturated the building and restore some of the colors.
Enjoy.

No fancy Photoshop, this is as it was - the moon, blue sky and clouds.

This was the first image I captured during my shoot at Crystal Crescent Beach, and it was an obvious choice for me due to my love of lighthouses, one of the key reasons I wanted to explore this location. Adding to the appeal were the dramatic skies that set the perfect mood for the scene. The lighthouse in question is the Sambro Island Lighthouse, standing 25 meters tall.
Situated on an isolated island just off the shore, the lighthouse fits beautifully with the sense of seclusion I wanted to convey. However, by my rough estimate, it's about 5 kilometers from the beach, which made it appear quite small even at 600mm on my full-frame camera. I chose not to crop heavily, as doing so would sacrifice the incredible drama of the sky.
I also ambitiously attempted a long exposure, but the strong winds caused too much vibration for a clear shot. It’s a reminder that I’ll need to return to this spot and try again.
Thank you to my friends and contacts for your visits and always kind comments! Thanks to other visitors too! Have a nice sunday and a great week ahead my friends!
April #conservationlands15 #bucketlist: Bodie Hills, California, for Wildflowers, Wildlife and One-of-a-Kind Ghost Town!
California’s Eastern Sierra region is a dramatic transition zone between the snowcapped granite spires of the Sierra Nevada and the endless sagebrush covered uplands of the Great Basin. A visit at the right time of year will reward visitors with a diversity of wildflowers.
One great wildflower viewing area is just north of Mono Lake and east of Yosemite in the rolling Bodie Hills – hills being an understatement since they top out at over 10,000 feet! Because of their high elevation, wildflower blooms are later here than much of California – typically arriving in May-June on the lower slopes and into July on the highest peaks. Several back roads traverse the area and offer access to view the displays of phlox, penstemmon, and paintbrush to name a few of the many wildflower species. More than 100,000 acres of BLM lands cover most of the Bodie Hills and include several wilderness study areas.
This year’s bloom promises to be early and short due to the dry winter across much of California. However, even if you miss the peak bloom, there is no shortage of things to see in the area. Bodie State Park is the site of the best-preserved ghost town in California, and arguably in the U. S. Wildlife viewers can see antelope, mule deer, and if lucky, get a glimpse of a sage grouse. If you visit later, around early October, crisp clear nights will turn the scattered aspen stands to gold, giving a second opportunity to see the Bodie Hills in color.

Some drama in the sky as the rain swept in.
Used a 0.6 hard grad to tame the sky and polariser to get the detail in the foreground

Looking down on a beautiful beach from near Lone Tree Point on Catalina Island, California. Lone Tree Point is 1,634 feet above the ocean and here I am probably at about 1,200 feet.
