Is there ever a bad sunset at the coast? This one was shot with a telephoto lens which I later regretted being my lens of choice as the whole sky burst forth in color after the sun sank below the horizon. Tonight, a wide angle!
In this image I was trying to celebrate the backlighting of the sun on the spray blowing off the breakers. The sun is setting just to my right but I wasn’t able to get it and the rocks and the breakers all in one shot.
In post processing I took it into Color Efex Pro where the detail extractor helped clear up some of haziness around the rocks. I used a perceptual saturation filter in brilliance warmth to give me a wider range of colors than just the golden of the original. And finally, a lighten center filter to give it a little more depth.
And now it is time to go out and catch the morning light.
