Storm Coming Up the Coast<\/h4>\n

Another of those amazing sky days along the coast. I have taken this view of Parson\u2019s Beach 100s of times, and, as the clich\u00e9 has it, being the ocean, it is never the same twice. This day, a major storm had passed through the day before, and there was still plenty of drama in the sky. I composed this both ways, with the beach as 2\/3s and with the sky as 2\/3s and like this one marginally better. <\/p>\n

Exposure was weighted toward the sky by using Exposure Lock\u2026but I am finding that I need to do less of that with the SX20IS, since the built in iContrast mode does a good job of balancing the earth and sky in this kind of shot: Especially when the earth is well lighted.<\/p>\n

Canon SX20IS at 28mm equivalent. F4 @ 1\/640th @ ISO 100. Programmed auto, biased for the sky by tipping up and locking exposure.<\/p>\n

Recovery in Lightroom for the sky. Fill Light for the foreground and to pick up detail in house on the point. Blackpoint quite a ways right. Overall exposure adjustment toward the bright side for the snow. Added Clarity and just a touch of Vibrance. Sharpen landscape preset. <\/p>\n
