Photography can be hard on family relationships. You want to get up before dawn, stay out well beyond the dinner hour in the summer and spend any free time scouting new locations or sitting in front of the computer. You can try to manage this in different ways - infect your significant other with the photography bug, plead the need for just one more shot, arrange family trips to places that are really interesting for everyone, or simply give up and declare that some trips are family and that photography will not be the focus. I took this last course this past week when we headed off to Wilmington, NC to see my granddaughter "graduate" from kindergarden. One camera, two lens and a tripod made it into the car - all justified by the need to document this significant occasion. And for the most part I stuck to my word. There was, however, one afternoon as the clouds built over Wrightsville Beach and the Intercoastal Canal that I did grab a few minutes to capture the magic of light, clouds and water playing together.
The first shot is a single exposure processed with Contrast Master and Topaz Adjust 3.0. The second photo is a 7 exposure HDR, with a PS curve adjustment and Topas Adjust 3.0.
