Galeria Twilight
Galeria Twilight

Another one fromt he beautiful Galeria beach. Those sandstone rocks were just great for photography.

I used a lee 0.6 soft + hard gnd here to balance the exposure. It was already quite dark, much darker than in the image here. This is over 100 seconds of exposure, I already needed my head-torch. But the colors were still so beautiful and vibrant and the long exposure emphasized those even more. All got a nice glow.

Girolata Dusk
Girolata Haze - Corsica
by Michael

Short after sunset in Corsica with view of Golfe de Girolata. It was a wonderful evening and a good reward for the hours of driving through the winding corse roads that day. It's really no fun going up and down in serpentines for hours on those small roads. The views are a good compensation for this though :-)

In post I had to do some focus stacking of three different focused shots. I shot this at 25mm and f/9,5 and there was no way to get everything as sharp as I wanted with just one shot.

-- Many techniques I show in my Start2Finish Post Processing Tutorial were used in this shot. There's a long section about focus stacking in the tutorial for those interested.

Galeria Sunshine
Galeria beach
by Michael

Winter holds his grip on germany. So it's time to remember warmer days as here in corsica. This is Galeria beach, which I showed you from the other side already. It's a pebble beach and the walk across it is really stearnous since you sinc in between the small pebbles. That's also why for sunset we stayed on the other side which has some equally beautiful views.

This photo I took during midday. It is told that this is the worst time to take landscape photos and mostly this is true. But put some clouds in the sky and some colorfull rocks into the foreground, the blue sea to the right and mountains in the background it's not too bad though ;-)

I used some exposure blending here to deal with dyn range and also the magic hand technique to remove flares. Shooting in the direction of the sun during midday isn't all to easy.

cheers
