Brighton Beach Huts

Camera: E-1
ISO: 100
Program: Aperture priority (exposure bias -0.3)
Aperture: f16
Shutter: 1/250
Focal length: 17mm


This looks strangely fake and I did do a bit of adjusting and editing in Lightroom but the original doesn't look much different to this! I was there at a hard time of day to shoot - the sun was low in the sky on a cloudless day which resulted in full sun coming in directly on those huts. But this resulted in being able to get good exposure for both the huts and the vibrant blue sky :)
There were very harsh shadows in the sand so I upped the fill light, and also increased the clarity and the vibrance. Also I cloned out some annoying bushes above the first hut on the right, and to the side of the far hut.
I love it! So bright and vibrant and almost surreal!

We had a day at the beach and we found some beautiful rockpools. Stuck the camera in this one :D I'm amazed at how clear all that is through the water!
