Explore #1 - Highest Position, October 3rd. Thanks everyone!
Earlier this week, the central California coast was blessed with its first real sunset since the summer marine layer began way back in May. That light caused a furor around the Bay Area, with lots of photogs hoping that the winter sunset season had begun.
So it came as no surprise when this past week I received a flurry of text messages asking how the evening clouds looked here at the coast in Santa Cruz. But sadly, the entire week was crystal-clear and cloudless. Until Friday night that is. A few clouds started to build, but nothing to get too exited about. Nevertheless, I knew there were some keen shooters out there, so I got in touch with Jave and David, and talked about the clouds a bit.
Both guys decided to roll on out to the coast to shoot Natural Bridges even if it meant shooting in less than spectacular conditions. As we got to the beach however, it became apparent that the sky was going to BLOW UP (to use the appropriately Jave vernacular). When the color did arrive, it was so full and beautiful that it caused us to lose all rationality and run around like chickens, scratching in the sand and shooting shooting shooting.
Afterward we kept talking about how it was the best light we've ever seen at NB (either in person or in photos). Simply amazing.

Nikon D300s
ISO100
F/8
0.62 sec
12 mm
Lee 3-stop soft GND Filter, handheld at a slight angle to darken the hot horizon on the right
Post-Processing
----------------------
In Raw Converter:
- Dropped my exposure by about 0.4 stops to make the colors richer
- Global contrast for added pop
- Local contrast adjustments to water streaks to add definition
In Photoshop:
- Noise reduction via Neat Image
- Selective Sharpening of arch
- Slight brightness and contrast boost to foreground
- Slight brightness and contrast boost to bridge to enhance the light there
- Luminosity mask on bright brights with darkening curves layers to improve color near the horizon on the right hand side
Thought Process: done with notes on the Image, a la Patrick Smith

I took this shot from my TV screen :-) ... I figured, to complete that set, I needed a shot of the President. So when from him to that scene switching to the US flag, I had to just click it. I didn't like the color version which became bit saturated, so here is tone down version :)
If our love was a fairytale
I would charge in and rescue you
On a yacht baby we would sail
To an island where we’d say I do
And if we had babies they would look like you
It’d be so beautiful if that came true
You don’t even know how very special you are
You leave me breathless
You’re everything good in my life
You leave me breathless
I still can’t believe that you’re mine
You just walked out of one of my dreams
So beautiful you’re leaving me

Art Quote of the Day
Every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter.
Oscar Wilde mentioned and I nodded:)

Last year we celebrated birthday of my mom with a dinner in the historical Sargans Castle, located at the foothills of the Swiss Alps. We had the 500 year old castle all to ourselves for the evening. We explored the 500 year old castle before dinner - this is the entrance hall.
I processed a balanced, a paintery, and a photographic HDR photo from two RAW exposures, blended them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
Thank you for visiting - ♡ with gratitude! Fave if you like it, add comments below, like the Facebook page, order beautiful HDR prints at qualityHDR.com.

Cannop Ponds, Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire, UK.
The Highlands of Iceland cover most of the interior of Iceland. They are situated above 400–500 metres and are mostly an uninhabitable volcanic desert, because the water precipitating as rain or snow infiltrates so quickly into the ground that it is unavailable for plant growth. This results largely in a surface of grey, black or brown earth, lava and volcanic ashes

Thanks everyone for the comments and faves, I am amazed at the response to this pic. This was taken near an HDB (Housing Development Board) flat in Singapore.

I was playing with permissions last night, and I find that this morning around 40 of my photos --most of the recent ones--have been dropped from Explore.
I am hit and miss for a bit . . . figure out what is going on with me medically. Thanks for Viewing.
