Glenoory

Another photo from Donegal. This was the last good light of our vacation. And it was quite a chase to find a good location to shoot that evening. I had nothing planned. The day before we'd been to murder hole, now we were driving along the Atlantic drive and looking down to the coast this area looked promising with all those rocks. So I parked the car and went down. There was even a little blow hole in the cliffs where the water went up nearly 30feet when the waves crashed in.

I used a lee 0.6 soft + hard gnd here to cope with dynamic range. Still some blending was needed. Especially for the sunstar which I shot at f/22. The rest was shot at f/11 for sharpness. It needed some blending to put this together in a clean way and then some contrast and color work followed.

The techniques used on this image I also describe in my start2finish tutorial if you're interested -> Start2Finish Post Processing Tutorial
