OT - Pictures of the rocky California coast

[Blazer88]

Here are a few pics that I snapped when I wasn't at the Aquarium of the Pacific. The first two were taken at Point Dume state beach in Malibu. The sunset pics were taken at a random beach about 15 minutes north of Malibu. I was hoping to have the same clouds around for the sunset, but what can you do. Enjoy!

Though you didn't get those clouds I still like what the dog prints bring to the 3rd one down. Cool shots.

Some very nice clouds in the first few. Too bad they weren't around for your sunset.

Using HDR in CS?

Yup my favorites is the dog print.

These are six exposures merged in Photomatix. I really try and tone down the HDR look as it can easily be overdone and fake. And I liked the dog prints in the sand as well. There were plenty of other footsteps and such that I had to patch out to isolate them, but I thought it added to the image. Thanks for the comments everyone.

Damn those pics are nice. The dog prints make the pic look so much cooler for some reason. Nice job.
