Image was taken whilst on my yearly great ocean road trip. Taken just before, or as the sun was rising off to the right. I wanted to have a go at the style of image terje has, but unfortunately I don\'t have any ND filters, so no smooth water. Editing on this was very heavy. I just borrowed a photoshop magazine off a friend and it had a great article about landscapes, and i\'ve now learnt how to use curves selectively in various parts of the image, which is sooo much better than dodging and burning large areas.
PP is quite extensive, so here goes
- HDR conversion with 5 stops of raw converted tiff files
- noise ninja
- lens correction tool to fix tilt and barrel distortion
- sky gradient on overlay
- gradient from ground up avoiding rock
- overall levels adjustment
- curves for sky for more pop
- selective levels just on the sea for a bit lightening
- selective colour, lightening whites. again used selectively on waves only this time
- selective colour used selectively on sky to make yellow a bit more yellow
- curves selectively to lighten the rock
- curves selectively to darken the bg mountains
- vignetting applied by selective levels
- sharpen
- dpcresize
