Down at the beach ...

Glorious day here today in New Zealand ... isn't it always I hear you say!  An early morning stroll at Weymouth, Auckland delivered some very pretty light on the water and foreshore.  The sun is rising just to the right in the first image you see here.

I'd been chatting to a few folk about HDR type photographs.  A number of the images seem rather exaggerated, which in some cases is fine, but I suspect, in the case of the image on the left, this just wouldn't have worked.  This first shot is a five shot HDR image processed in Photomatix Pro.  The idea is to tempt you to want to know what is around the corner.  I certainly did.  A bit slippy over the rocks ... you can probably see the green "slippyness"in the image!  Anyway, once round the corner you get to see things like the photos in the remainder of this post.  All photographs are five shot HDR images processed in Photomatix Pro

Perhaps leave a comment and let me know what you think ... or if you fancy visiting the beach, request directions!
