Morrison Head Island Shoreline Cape Breton

The lee side of this island in the Bras d'Or lake was calm, so the kelp and lichen were clear on the iron-tinged rock. Early morning light, Canon DSLR, Photomatix Pro, 3 exposures, warming and noise reduction in LR3.

HDR TIP:

Since this photo was made with a hand held, not tripod mounted camera, a fast shutter speed was key to prevent the 3 exposures from getting out of register. So, I ensured that the slowest shutter speed of the 3 was 1/250th of a second, and still there was a slight misalignment when the frames were combined in HDRsoft's Photomatix Pro.

COMPOSITION TIP:

The visual weight of the foreground is very important in a landscape. Here, it worked that the large rock at lower left was underwater, as it would have been too "weighty" if it were dry.
