Some sunset shots from a week or two ago. These are HDR and I was going to use my usual method (Photoshop) but I wasn't like the results I was getting with the sky not being blended properly.
I took a bit of a break and decided to try Photomatix and it seems to do the job
There's plenty of settings which can make the whole thing look pretty mental but I can't say I'm a huge fan of that so I've kept it fairly normal but with a little more contrast/colour.
The view is just from nearby on the beach so there's nothing fantastic there to look at. This means the shots are pretty much more about the sky than anything since it was pretty spectacular... I still wish there was something better in the foreground though! A slightly lower tide would have been awesome.
