This sunset photo is from Victoria Beach. Sunsets and beach photos work well with a 2.35 crop like this. It really seems to feature the horizon well.
This is an HDR beach photo. There really isn’t a way to shoot a picture like this without multiple exposures unless you use an ND gradient filter. I think today, a lot more photographers are moving towards HDR and combining the exposures in the post rather than fiddling around with filters. I didn’t tweak the colors too much on this one. I’m starting to like beach photos that have a more natural look. But sometimes, if the sky and color are right, I’ll push it a little more to give it a unique look and feel.
Another photo with a more HDR color editing approach.
