ABOUT THIS IMAGE
Too Near the Fiery Orb
On March 24, 2013 my wife and I went up to Moonstone Beach in Cambria, California for a late lunch at one of our favorite restaurants The Moonstone Beach Bar and Grill. I can’t tell you how many times we have enjoyed a meal there.
Afterwards it was image-taking time. Made a few images along the Moonstone Beach drive and then up north along the coast. I stopped at one of the vista turnouts and just had fun clicking away at anything that was flying. I filled an entire 8GB card just having fun. My wife and I had a great day.

I'm redecorating the living room and got a big frame to put on portrait orientation over the fireplace. Since I didn't have anything in portrait orientation that I thought would suit the look I wanted, I decided to go and take a new picture for it. This composition is exactly what I had in mind when I left my house, but the amazing, almost full moon was a bonus I was not expecting!

Those that know me know that I'm not a fan of winter. So usually between the months of December to early March, I very rarely go out to take pictures. With work being extremely busy lately, it's probably been since early December when I last picked up my camera. Yesterday the forecast was was overcast, but it was supposed to be in the low 50's. The temperature never got that warm, but I decided that enough was enough, so I grabbed my camera gear and went out. With the lack of color in the area and snow still on some of the rocks, I previsualized this image in monochrome. I'm not completely happy with the composition as I wanted to get a lower perspective, but that would have involved me getting wet, which was out of the question when the temperature was just 37 degrees.
One of our cats, Harley, just giving me "the look" as I disturbed her "kitty-cat TV" show (looking at our backyard through the sliding glass door).
I used dodge/burn brushes to lighten the area in shade and darken the white areas on her fur.
One of the views while visiting Corbett's Glen in Penfield, NY. Saw the fish were beginning to run up the stream now that our water levels have improved after the Summer drought.

This is a shot remastered I loved it when I took it but had no real clues on how to show all of its beauty
Cropped it as much as I could in order to show its superb colours
Some construction site near my office. I played a bit with Nik´s Analog Efex Pro to get these colours and the zoom-effect.
This image was captured during my Palm Beach Photographic Centere workshop to Peru. It was captured with a Nikon D-2XS camera with a 70-210mm D series lens using the Nikon electronic file format (.Nef) Shot on Lexar Flash media. All file was post processed using NIKON capture NX2.

ABOUT THIS IMAGE
LISTLESS WAVE of LOW TIDE
Finding a new location it was a minus 1.2 foot low tide. A dry tropical storm was approaching from the south and the clouds were growing. For me it was a perfect time to enjoy the outdoors, the ocean and most important, to make an image. I have to acknowledge to very good friends, Stan who told me about Beachcomber (Stan, When I went there I remembered that I had been there before. Thank you). To Bob, who was my partner in crime that day and photo buddy who makes my images better when we photograph together and who also made the weather much better that day. Thanks for the clouds, Bob..!!!
Addendum:
This image is actually an HDR consisting of (3) images. A 4 min, 20 sec exposure, a 3 min, 17 sec exposure and a 2 min exposure. This allowed me to properly expose for the highlights and shadows. The tonal separation was too contrasty so the scene required this approach.
