I reprocessed this photo which I had already worked on with Photomatix to improve the contrast and darkened the sky with Photoshop’s selective colour feature.

I’ve just begun to dip my toe in the HDR/Tone Mapping water. I haven’t taken any bracketed exposures specifically for this process, so I’ve processed this one from the RAW file prior to processing with Photomatix – this makes it Tone Mapped rather than a proper HDR, but the effect is quite pleasant.

I liked the perspective on this image when I first shot it, but hadn’t got around to processing it. I think that the black and white suits it better as the colour especially in the clothing distracts from the lines of the pier.

Here’s a couple of photos that I grabbed on the way to a client’s house before Christmas. They are of the dunes at the back of Ainsdale Beach.
