Marina Sunset | Morehead City, NC
On the first weekend in October, Morehead City hosts the North Carolina Seafood Festival. It is a huge event that attracts visitors from not only North Carolina, but all over the East Coast. On the day I visited, the crowds were enormous. It was hard to walk, let alone tote a camera, through the exhibit and food vendor areas. Toward the end of the evening, I found this quiet little area near the end of the Morehead City Waterfront to take a break. The sun was beginning to set over the line of sport fishing boats that are docked there and I thought this would be the perfect time to fire off some brackets. Due to the crowds and my laziness, I didn’t bring along my tripod. Luckily, there were many posts and fences to choose from to stabilize my camera!
The shot: 3 exposures, ISO-200, f/10. My standard HDR post processing: Merged in Photomatix Pro, Edited in Photoshop CS4 with Nik Color Efex and Viveza applied. Slight ‘Glamour Glow’ filter applied before saving to add realism and a calm feeling.
