Calming sea

Calming sea

This image has been created during on hour spent on coast near Ponta do Arnel on Azors island Sao Miguel. Originally, we wanted with my wife to see there lighthouse (Farol Ponta do Arnel), however for me it was unique chance to take seascape image as well. I called unique because we have not a lot chances to be so close to sea due to steepy and sharp reefs.

Although I have full hands with taking different type of exposures, I remembered this time like very calming and resting period when sea was talking to me with soothing tone, sun was shining well and clouds going across the sky. Hope the atmosphere is visible, I tried to do my best to showing it.

Taking this image costs me around 30 different exposures taken during one hour. For final image I selected one exposure for stones and calming sea in the foreground, second exposure for reef with great green in the background and sixt another for catching travelling of clouds in the sky. Blending exposures together were done in Adobe Photoshop with help of RayaPro panel.
