Sunrise Over Stuart Beach

Sep 25, 2010 | Florida Beaches & Coasts, Sunrises & Sunsets

This photo was taken from Stuart beach right behind the House of Refuge. I almost missed this shot because I was on the other side shooting the pier, but I made it just in time as the storm clouds started rolling in. Boy did those clouds move fast! I got some major ghosting in my HDR image because of it. Even Photomatix’s ghosting feature couldn’t fix it. But with a simple creative technique I developed, I was able to make this HDR photo flawless. I plan on putting that secret technique in my ebook ;-)
