 Holy crap, that was incredible Up towards the coast to look for some good old-fashioned water detail wish me luck heading off to the beach Hoping for some good clouds really expecting any got this makeshift rig on the bag So I only got to carry one. I guess it'll have to work It says it's only 83 outside, but I feel like it's about a hundred and fifty. I Got my air blasted in here, and it is hot There's no way it appears that everybody had the same idea that I did traffic sucks of people So as I sit here Basically dead stopped in this traffic I'm thinking Then I'm going to go out to Pacific up here And see what I can get there. I've been there once before and I got an awesome sunset, maybe one of the best that I've ever gotten and I Certainly don't think I'm gonna get that tonight, but I'd like to try something else So it was like 85 degrees in San Jose. I Love the coast. It's like it says it's 69 degrees here. That is what I'm talking about But parking is a disaster I'm thinking there may be too many people and I may need to go find somewhere smaller I'm gonna try and find a spot to park and Assess the situation not sure going to be the right spot Super pretty and I love it and the sunset looks like it might be nice, but I think That there's just too many people Maybe I'll have a walk down the beach and see if there's a better place Starting to get pretty nice out here. So I'm starting to go down Starting to get a little darker can start getting some long exposures and We'll see how it turns out man. I am kicking myself in the butt for not bringing a wide-angle lens These clouds are Insane Sun's going down Just getting some horizon shots right now. Super pretty. I wish I had a wide-angle lens, but you live and you learn I'm gonna take a couple more Holy freaking crap. Look at this. It is blowing up freaking awesome Now to get out of here and try and beat all the traffic Looks like everybody's leaving. I'm out of here. Let's talk about how I process this image I did everything in the lightroom. I shot the image at a hundred and twenty-one millimeters ISO 100 to get the best quality F 22 to get some nice depth and make the exposure as long as I could that gave me point six seconds of an exposure So here's the original import This is the raw image and I started out by making basic adjustments to the color Contrast highlight shadows and just really tried to give it a little bit of vibrance and clarity to make the colors in the sky Pop here and also the color in the water I then added a curves adjustment, which basically Creates more contrast. I brought up the highlights and brought down the shadows You can see this is getting really dark here and I actually don't like that But I knew I was going to change it later typically always use the lens correction It does a really good job of not distorting the image Then I added a vignette and a little bit of de-hazing and you can see this got really dark down here What I noticed was in the sky. There were so many Sensor spots. I need to get this thing clean. Look at this. They're freaking everywhere. So painstakingly I went through I Adjusted the angle of the horizon to make it straight and I brightened it up just a bit to get exactly What I was hoping for this is the final image If you enjoyed this content go ahead and hit that thumbs up button and do us a big favor and subscribe We're bringing one of these things.
