All Is Wells

I took this photograph this week when the great british weather was showing its true colours. So I decided to enhance the picture a little by using a new feature on Photoshop (CS4), the ND Grad option in ACR. It has helped pull out the colours in the sky, without altering the sand and beach huts too much. It is my first go with a digital ND filter and I am very impressed with the technology. I hope you enjoy it too.

The picture was taken using my pentax on a tripod. The exposute was 0.3sec at f27 / ISO400 (due to very low light levels) 36mm focal length. I have cropped the picture a little to get rid of distracting clouds, boosted contrast levels a little and apllied a slight grain to the huts and beach, to help push out the sky a little more.
