Low Tides

 This image was shot yesterday on the 5th of October, 2013 at aproximately 6.30 pm. The sun was already low and so do the tides which exposed all these beautiful rocks eroded by the sea over the centuries. The place is located deep in a village at Tanjung Putri Golf Resort in Pasir Gudang City, Johor, Malaysia. As the sun was behind these rocks, heavy shadows cast onto these rocks facing back to the sun making these rock surfaces very dark with all details lost. In order to highlight the surface darkens by the shadows, 5 exposures of different degree from the darkest to the brightest were made and merged  in Photomatrix Pro. Contrast were added leaving some black points to the image to make it looks more natural. Minor touch up to the sky were made repair parts of it which were over exposed. I don't believe in over doing the HDR prosesses in order to preserve its natural looks. Lastly sharpening were done just enough to show details on the rocks. I want to produce an image where you can feel the presents of that place as if it were just right in front of you. Hope you enjoy this image as I do. If you have any questions, please feel free to write to me and I'll be glad to answer to your questions.
