From the recent trip to the Big Island in search of hot lava flows, I found no lava ( ), but came back with quite a few of seascapes and sunsets.
From the blog post, I share some information on how the image was taken and post processed:
In front of this dramatic scene, I wanted to capture movement against the beautiful cloudscape in the background. I set the aperture at f/8 to get the shutter time up to 1/6s, which is very often a sweet spot to get movement in the waves without that foamy quality of very long exposures. The polarizer was used to remove some distracting reflections from the foreground. Given the high dynamic range of the scene, a second exposure of the sky was taken and blended in post processing with the foreground to recreate something that the naked eye could perceive easily.
The back lit spray right on the up left third was a kind present given by the goddess Luck.
Feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
