Cap du Dramont - Var France
Disclaimer: this is a highly digitally manipulated picture... Nothing has been invented only things removed!
Sony A7riii + 16-25 f2.8 G @ 18mm
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 that were blurry and unpleasing IMO 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 tunning back in Lightroom. Again some dodge and burn but this time the goal is to make the image pop.
excellent effort
