Seabright Sunset
Explored Front Page - March 14, 2009 - Thank you all so very much!
What:
A little cabin? boathouse? watches the winter sun set over the Atlantic Ocean.
Where:
Seabright
Nova Scotia, Canada
(I added it to the map)
About:
I've always wanted to stop and take a shot of this spot that is located on the road to Peggy's Cove. There isn't really a place to pull over and park but when I happened upon this amazing sunset I couldn't resist anymore.
Post Processing
I tried something a bit different here. I used Photomatix but I tried the exposure blending method instead of the typical tone mapping with the details enhancer. I really like the results and it is more natural looking without the increased noise and halos that come from the other method. It is much more like DRI or exposure blending without having to manually do the layers and masking. Remember, I'm a lazy bastard so this made me happy. Not as "happy" as the shower with Lilapop but still pretty happy none the less! :-)
BTW, the seagull was added back in from the -2ev sky exposure just for you bastards that tease me about my pet seagulls. I hope you like it! lol
Please, no multiple invites or crazy glittery graphics. Thank You
