Had a day off today, but it is an overcast dull day so I set out to see if I could pull a shot together. I usually wouldnt bother.
I went to a location that is close to my opposite picture as you may be able to make out by the rock formation on the beach in the distance.
Technique: I used all 3 of my ND filters 2,4 & 8 and a polarizing filter to allow for longer shutter release and just used the auto bracket setting in full manual and shot RAW iso 100 with manual focus.
Combined 2 exposures -2 and 0 with HDR photo merge in Paintshop Pro x2, manually adjusted clarify to about 63, then added a graduated filter, and finally a curves layer, soft light also at about 63%.
Sorry for the long speel, but its more for my reference than anything
I do like the effect, but I am not sure if its any good?
Does it tell you a story?
Does the shot produce any feelings?
So from dark and dreary to.....
