Another of my shots from my May trip to Mexico. I was out there everyday at sunrise, but this day was one of the best and most colorful of the entire week.
Processed from 5 exposures from 1 image, using lightroom to adjust the exp level, and then Photomatix 3 to merge and tonemap. I then took it into Corel X2 for further processing, cross processed a layer to blue the shadows more and set the layer on 'multiply', reduced the opacity, and then merged/resized/saved.
It had some noise at full size, and is still a bit grainy but I like that look on the sand at least. This image spawned the thread on the forums about noise removal. I didn't want to make it any worse in this case, so I didn't do any extra sharpening on the image.
The sky draws the eye. You are patient to have taken this much trouble.
Lovely natural looking image. I'm curious to see what came out of the camera.
Worth getting up early for.Stunning shot. Mike.
