I know I’ve been a little slack and haven’t updated this as much as I would have liked, things have been a little hectic and I still plan on putting up some more Photoshop smart objects tutorials later.

This weekend, I met up with a few Flickr members for a sunrise shoot, at the secluded Susan Gilmore Beach. It was a nice morning, with clear skies though a few clouds would have made the images a bit more interesting. It was almost spot on at low tide, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen it that low before, as I easily was able to walk there and back without wading through water!

Here are two of my favourite shots from the day.

On both of these images, I used my previously posted techniques for exposure blending and colour boosting.

The first image was around 20 minutes before the sun came up, and I used a ND8 (3 stop neutral density) filter, and the second image of the sun rising I used a ND400 filter, one of my favourite filters for landscape photography.
