It Came From The Sea - a photo on Flickriver

            This is a more typical seascape shot taken in Bexhill today.
I got in close and low and almost got wet a few times to get this shot.
I used my Lee 0.9 grad to darken the clouds, maybe a bit too strong but I just love dark dramatic clouds so this is how I wanted it.
I also broke the rules here by having the horizon across the middle of the picture but I don't care :) rules are made to be broken (just don't tell the police).

Taken with
►Nikon D300s
►Sigma 10-20 @20mm
►Lee hard nd grad 0.9
►Underexposed  1/3 EV
►Tripod + Cable release
►Mirror lock up

Post Processing
►Auto WB with dropper tool
►Spot removal for the dust bunnies
►Recovered highlights in the bright parts of the sky
►Lens correction for distortion and straighten my wonky horizon
►Added saturation
►Added 's' curve for contrast
►Added unsharp mask for detail and clarity
