3.04 - "Solid" 

Cap du Dramont - Var, France
Disclaimer: this is a highly digitally manipulated picture... Nothing has been invented only things removed and enhanced!

Sony A7riii + 16-25 f2.8 G @ 18mm cropped to around 20mm
Foreground: iso 100, f8, 30s taken at dusk, processed first in lightroom
Sky: 16 shots @ iso 3200, f2.8, 15s, averaged in sequator to reduce the noise and processed into lightroom (heavy push of dehaze and clarity)

Exposure blended in photoshop. Then, heavy cleaning of the picture:
- Removing of 4 boats (this is a busy place in summer) that were blurry and unpleasing in my opinion mostly with the stamp tool and a bit of AI
- Dodge and burn with the radial mask and exposure/light cursors. First step is to uniformize the light.
- Edges curating where the blending was not perfect.
- Final editing back in Lightroom. Again some dodge and burn but this time the goal is to make the image pop.
