Bleeding awesome Mike, very impressive. How do you plan for such a brilliant scene, did you know it would look like that in advance somehow (weather forcast) , or was it good luck on the day?.

Mike your images are very nice indeed, but i have to ask, do you and some of the others enhance the images with particular program's.

IMHO, only, the scenes appear unnatural, are they the original untouched pictures that you took, or have they been processed somehow.

Just asking, not to upset.

Hi Leon

Certainly, they are post-processed in Lightroom and/or Photoshop.

Selective contrast and saturation/vibrance enhancements mainly. Sometimes adjust the white balance, convert to black and white, etc.

Cheers

Thanks Fred.
Just luck. There's no way to really plan for it. Sometimes the clouds are too low that they don't get the beautiful sun glow off them.

Sometimes there's no clouds and you don't get any action in the sky at all.

The waves and sea were very rough on this day too, so it helped with capturing the crashing waves and bringing the surfers out
