Having not used my 5D for a while. decided to recharge the battery in case I feel like using it in the near future. Took out the memory card opened up PS bridge to check the contents. Low and behold there were a load of images I'd not processed from last August that I'd taken on the beach at Newbiggin. Picked out a couple that seemed worthwhile and began to give them what for in PS. The first image is which is the better is in my gallery. When using the Sigma 12-24 lens there is no facility to mount any filters to the front of the lens. To get a decent result I have to blend different exposures. Here is an example of the process.
Exposed for the foreground
....
And then for the sky
...... After applying a layer mask and brushing away
This was the result......
..... After a series of adjustments using match colour and a bit
of dodging to the highlights.
I'll have to give myself a push to get an early start one of these cold mornings.
